You may have noticed that YouTube changed things up quite a bit yesterday. It’s all part of a plan by Google to make the site to be easier to navigate overall and turn it into an even more compelling alternative to cable television than it’s already become over the past few years.

(Note: This is the first post in Epic, one of our new content categories.)

From the video description on Vimeo:

Commissioned for Shanghai World Expo 2010, as a part of lighting design of the Urban Best Practices Area, Firefly is an interactive environment displaying behavior that is similar to a cloud of glowing insects.

Sensitive to movements around, fireflies wriggle, light up and scatter when visitors get in touch with them. The cloud alternately disperses and merges… and its shape evolves to take a different appearance, again and again.
