Squarepusher's "Stor Eiglass" Crazy Virtual Reality Video Will Make You Dizzy

[DudeAsInCool]

Careful: Squarepusher's video for "Stor Eiglass", from the recently released Damogen Furies, will probably make you pretty dizzy. The video has you taking the perspective of a headless woman moving through a series of cartoonishly colorful and bizarre locations. It's available to view as an immersive virtual reality experience through an iOS app, Google Cardboard, and Samsung's Gear VR smartphones. You can also watch it below on YouTube, though for best results, open it up in a Google Chrome tab so you can navigate the full 360° world with your mouse or W/A/S/D keys. (Go full screen at your own risk.)

The video was made in collaboration with studio Marshmallow Laser Feast, illustrator Rob Pybus, and animator Blue Zoo.

The full virtual reality video—headset and all—will be screened at the Tokyo Garden Hall on May 15, the Sydney Opera House on May 22-31, and at New York's RBMA Studios on May 21 as part of Internet Week. 

In a press release, Marshmallow Laser Feast's creative director Robin McNicholas said, "We mimicked the track’s theme of twisting a genre to become the antidote of everything it stands for by using VR to frivolously highlight the possible perils of VR addiction. It was just an honest response to how the track appears to start as a super club anthem before subverting everything in the way Squarepusher does so well."
