The Plastics Revolution - Invasión (First Instagram Video)

Mexico based band The Plastics Revolution has claimed that it has filmed the world’s first “music video done entirely on Instagram”.The official music video for the song “Invasión” was shot frame-by-frame—with every single frame of the 1,905 pictures processed on Instagram on an iPhone, without any third-party alterations. All stills, shot by San Francisco-based Arturo Perez Jr, were then put together to make a stop motion.

Real Electronic Music

Tokyo-based Daito Manabe has created a music video that visualises each beat through electro-shocked muscle movements.For the track Straight and Arrow by New York artist Falty DL, the Japanese digital artist used tailored-made electronic devices to stimulate the muscle movements of participants in line to the music.

Attaching the devices to the arms and hands of the 40 involved, Daito was able to visualize the music through the bodies of the participants: involuntarily jerking and pulsing their arms, hands and fingers with each beat.
