One of my friends showed me this site and it got me thinking about how video is displayed to an audience. the traditional manner is similar but not the same as how we experience time, one event after the other in a constant flow. Some people such as Quentin Tarantino have experimented with this by creating pockets of narrative and sewing them together in a non linear fashion.
This site takes any youtube or vimeo video and streams it in a number of different ways. The way displayed below is mosaic, it divides the video into about three second clips and places them into a grid in the window randomly. Once the grid is filled it divides each three second window into a further four windows. The audio of the clip is streamed as a single ongoing track over the top.
This adds something else to the animation, it takes away from the narrative where you cannot see what is happening at that point in time and dulls any audio cues to the visual but you can view the entire video as a whole in three second clips.
