Pet Shop Boys - Integral (new version)

• YouTube

Here's that Pet Shop Boys song and QR code themed video from 2007. The lyrics rail against Blair's UK surveillance state and the video is cutting edge for the time.

The video sets out to amplify the message of the song.
The piece was conceived and created by The Rumpus Room as a multi platform project, having versions of the film for small hand held devices as well as large resolution screens. It is both a traditional piece of film and an interactive portal to online information and campaigns.

The video has over 100 QR Codes that are subliminal when watched in real time, but accessible to interact with if you navigate through the film using time controllers. The QR Codes are organised into sections that relate to specific issues of civil liberties.
