So this is definitely not your grandma’s MTV. The clip we’ve posted above explains the making of “3 Degrees of Black,” an interactive video made for your browser, which was the product of a collaboration between the multi-hyphenated artist/filmmaker Chris Milk and a group of 20-something geniuses at Planet Google. But before you delve into the (admittedly fascinating) backstory, be sure to experience the video for yourself and move your mouse around a bit.
“Three Dreams of Black” is a song from the new album “Rome,” itself a collaboration between American producer Danger Mouse and Italian composer Daniel Luppi, featuring Jack White and Norah Jones. The song is a perfect choice for a trippy, multi-faceted project like this, which combines video, 2D and 3D graphics, and the user herself. And yes, we know the whole “experiment” is basically just an advertisement for Google Chrome, but after spending some time in their dreamscape, we’re cool with that.

This music video is really fine.
An ad for Google Chrome. Piss on that.
Just tried to view the page using Chromium. Not supported. Way to go Google.
Also, re the comment section: Using JavaScript to make a div act like a textarea instead just using, you know, a goddamn textarea, is retarded. It breaks all sorts of browser add-ons. Way to go Disqus.
