The music video, made by James Frost and Aaron Koblin, features rendered images of Thom Yorke’s face as well as those of several other people, interspersed with images of suburban landscapes, and people coming and going at a party. In lieu of traditional cameras, the video is made with lidar technology which detects the proximity of objects from the sensor. This gives the video a grainy and grid-like appearance. Sheets of acrylic glass and mirrors are passed in front of the lasers to create scenes in which the image appears distorted, partially disappears, or begins to disintegrate as if being carried by wind. —Wikipedia
