Looking at the evolution of online video since broadband Internet became more of a standard than a luxury, much has happened in terms of presentation and usability. French filmmaker Vincent Moon is founder and director of La Blogotheque, a showcase of his “Take Away” shows. These are weekly videos of an invited artist or band playing several live songs, often filmed in random places around Paris. Watch the Arcade Fire video above.
Vincent Moon’s latest venture is a website called “Temporary Areas,” where some of his content is presented through Flash in a full-screen map. Designed by dzlv studio, the website doesn’t follow the traditional website form, but is more of an art installation experience. He calls it a “map of streams,” which is appropriate to the viewing experience.
