Dance to the Radio is one of the net.art projects collected at American artist and designer David Crawford's website lightofspeed.com. This project consists of a series of three ready-made music videos for the legendary 1980s post-punk band Joy Division, constructed from stock photos selected by keyword. Each video is generated out of 50 images that are algorithmically sequenced every time a song is played. This produces over 100 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 potential sequences and suggests that every possible montage will never be seen, by anyone! As randomly displayed snapshots of bleak office spaces replace each other in forlorn succession, the results are both amusing and unaccountably melancholy.
