On 1st August 1981 MTV transmitted for the first time in the USA, beginning with a music video from “The Buggles”. The song for the video – “Video killed the Radio Star” – was a prophesy that proceeded to be fulfilled…

Today music videos are primarily consumed on the internet instead of TV sets, and even though the internet would make it possible, the videos haven’t changed. “Take this dance and forget my name” from the German band all*joines integrates information from google.com, geonames.org, flickr.com, and maxmind.com in real-time and combines them as an experiment into one media music video.
