Aside from being the first-ever music video to debut courtesy of your friendly neighborhood search and ad giant, it is also the first video ever to be shot without cameras. Only lasers and scanners were used, which is why Thom Yorke looks kind of like a sonogram.

Watch House of Cards — better yet, “interact” with it on Google. There’s also a making-of video that talks about Geometric Informatics and Velodyne LIDAR, the technology used to capture all the imagery in 3D.

Directed by James Frost of Zoo Films.

I read every self-help book on happiness ever published and followed every piece of advice for three years straight — and the reason I was still unhappy had nothing to do with gratitude journals or morning routines, it was that I’d been treating a wound with wallpaper
