Pet Shop Boys - Integral (new version)
• YouTubeHere'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.
