PLEASE look at this, this is genuinely the most fascinating and creative use of the internet as a medium I've seen since fucking Homestuck

it reminded me of some similar 'browser music video that popped up a ton of windows' experiements from the past decade or so. here are some showcases of just a few of them:

Portugal. The Man - Rich Friends

i never saw the original version of this, but presumably it would have been just like the youtube version but with actual pop-up windows.

OK Go - All Is Not Lost

remember Chrome Experiments? what a time to be alive, lol. shame this isn't in Flashpoint or somewhere else as far as I know

Negativland - Discernment.crx

okay this one's actually a Chrome extension but close enough, lol. an avant-garde critique of the modern Disinformation age and the rise of Fake News, i suppose.

Tied into another webcomic hosted in parallel, had parallel storylines in popups, rewrote its page CSS depending on the chapter, used hyperlinks in character conversation logs, and of course full-blown interactive flash games, not just animations. Oh, and a vast music library, of which only a subset was actually used in the comic itself. Not as technically impressive as this or other hypermedia, in terms of integration and execution, but it was a rare case of a hypermedia work that was staggeringly huge and truly multi-media.

(minor niche caution: if you are a weirdo who uses their "recently closed windows" section as a stash for browser windows you're not using at the moment, you will lose all of them)

Ooh thanks for sharing the other ones! I've been trying to find anything similar to my work at all and it's been impossible due to how bad search has gotten with the keywords for these things. I think only the second one is using actual browser pop-up windows though, I'd love to find more projects like it.
