Radiohead Open Sources a Music Video

I’m always interested in the offbeat ways that the benefits of the open source model–lots of eyeballs, community efforts–can be applied to new types of ideas. We posted about several non-software focused efforts in this area recently. Now, as The Guardian is reporting, the band Radiohead has a new spin on this concept. Its new single “House of Cards” has a video that was created using advanced visualization techniques and various computer-rendered models. The band has teamed up with Google to release the data for the promo as open source using a Creative Commons license. Take a gander at how it looks here–better than a lot of music videos in my opinion.
