NFB Interactive: Bla Bla

What does it mean to interact with art? To communicate? And what unique wrinkles may develop as an exploration of these questions is designed specifically for a computer? The National Film Board commissioned Vincent Morisset to create this interactive tale, and it is an experience that warrants several return trips. Morisset has a rather fascinating resume, as he has worked on creating music videos for Sigur Ros and Arcade Fire. Much like his films, this interactive online project requires the participation of the viewer. As the introduction to the film states: "without him or her, the characters remain inert, waiting for the next interaction. The spectator clicks, plays and searches through the simple, uncluttered scenes, truly driving the experience." Without saying too much about the film, visitors can get started by responding to the opening screen's request to "Click Anywhere." There are six "chapters" to the film, each one of which examines a principle of human communication. Visitors will find the playfulness, interesting characters, and unique shapes a real treat.
