How do you get a whole city to walk backwards?

What you’re really seeing:

The opposite of which is actually true: the man, Ludovic Zuili, is the one walking backward but the video is being played in reverse. What you’re watching is just a short preview of a 9-hour movie that was aired in its entirety in France called Tokyo Reverse, part of a bizarre TV programming trend called Slow TV that has been regarded as a “small revolution.” According to the BBC, similar video projects aired in Norway include a 6-day video of a ferry journey through the fjords which attracted viewership of more than half the country.

Is straight reality, in real-time, the new reality TV? We’ll find out soon here in the U.S.

What you’re seeing:

Vincent Adoxo and Steve Bliss have created a series of hypnotic music videos for musician Clark of Warp Records that uses nothing but an oscilloscope, an electronic instrument that can observe varying signal voltages, to create the video’s imagery. In the music videos for both “Riff Through The Fog” and “Superscope” by Clark, the oscilloscope is manipulated to observe stereo audio signals which are then filmed in a single shot without the use of video editing or video effects. More about the process is available on Adoxo’s website.
