Squarepusher's track "Stor Eiglass" from his Damogen Furies album (Warp) has a virtual reality music video. A collaboration between artists Marshmallow Laser Feast, animators Blue Zoo, and illustrator Rob Pybus, the video itself is a candy-colored jaunt where you get to glance around a 3D world as your travel through it. In a meta-narrative about VR, it starts off in a multi-colored utopia where people do star jumps in public, before we journey into a gloomy future where everyone is hooked on headsets, bodies spasming to the stimulus of a virtual world.
