Far from content to wreak havoc solely on the music industry, Nine Inch Nails have announced the expansion of the Ghosts project with the launch of a YouTube based virtual film festival comprising entrants’ inspirations to tracks from the album.
“This isn’t a contest and you don’t win elaborate prizes – it’s meant to be an experiment in collaboration and a chance for us to interact beyond the typical one-way artist-to-fan relationship. We’ve discussed some interesting ways this could go, including multiple installments of the online “film festivals,” to broadcast TV specials, to a one-time live performance of the entire Ghosts record with your visuals involved. It really depends on how this progresses and develops.
We are all very much looking forward to what you come up with, and hope you enjoy the experience.”
