Crowd sourced mouse recordings to music video

http://donottouch.org/  has a pretty interesting interaction where they play a video and give you instructions, such as stay in the green zone, or make a mask. Following along with your cursor is easy enough, but the interesting thing is that they record your cursor movements to add to the previous recordings, and you can see all of those previous recordings while you move around. It feels like you are interacting and online with all the other cursors, even though they were at different points in time. Also, there’s some weird lemming-like social activity going on. There are some points in the video where the cursors cover the green area entirely, and so even though you can’t see the green, you follow the crowd assuming it must be under everyone else. Or maybe you don’t.
