•RADIOHEAD RELEASES VIDEO SHOT WITHOUT CAMERAS> Radiohead has premiered a new video on Google, billed as the first music video to be shot without cameras and lights. Instead, "House of Cards" uses a scanning system called Geometric Informatics and the light detection and ranging system Velodyne LIDAR to scan and capture real-time, 3D imagery of vocalist Thom Yorke and a suburban cityscape. Zoo Films director James Frost (also one half of creative outfit Blip Boutique) first came up with the idea while collaborating with data artist Aaron Koblin on the Interpol video "Rest My Chemistry" (read the Boards story about the making of that video here).
