A music video? A video game? Does it matter? Chris Milk follows up his previous Google collaboration for Arcade Fire with this new interactive "Chrome Experiment" for Rome, a a new project from Italian composer Daniele Luppi and US producer/musician Danger Mouse with Jack White and Norah Jones. Whereas the Arcade Fire's Neighbohood Downtown manipulated Google maps and street views based on whatever address you inputted, "3 Dreams Black" is a trippy dreamscape through you which navigate. Or, if you wish, you can also create your elements to add to the dream for others to experience. On a technical level it's a showcase for the Google Chrome browser's OpenGL technology which lets you view and play with all sorts of 3D visuals without a plug-in. On a practical level, it's another example of the vast open vistas that are open to directors once freed from the confines of a traditional music video. --> experience "3 Dreams of Black" or learn more about the tech
