Cory Arcangel: A Couple Thousand Short Films about Glenn Gould (2008)

For this remarkable piece of A/V wizardry, media artist Cory Arcangel created custom software to automatically map each note of the first of J. S. Bach’s Goldberg Variations to a corresponding YouTube clip of an amateur musician performing the required pitch. Using over 1100 different snippets of video, Arcangel constructs a beautiful collision of classical music and internet culture.

As a Gould fanatic, I fully approve. I have a feeling he would have as well. Piano/Bach snobs? Fuck ‘em.
