On March 6, 2007 on Justin Dolske’s blog “The odd parity bit,” Justin had a post entitled “If Tufte Made a Music Video it might look like this.”

The video (Royksopp’s Remind Me) can be found on YouTube here. It is about 4 minutes long and is worth the click.

While Tufte might not approve of some of the graphics (I could have sworn, I even saw a dreaded pie chart), I thought it was a really interesting use of information graphics.

I rediscovered Röyksopp’s famous “Remind Me” video clip using animated graphics as a background story for their 2002 music piece. It had such an impact that a few years later Areva, the French nuclear giant, wanted to use it for their advertising. Being denied it by the Norwegian pop group they finally went for the hit “Funky Town” on a video that looks very similar (as it was done by the same French art collectif H5 that did Royksopp’s video).

What do you think?
