It's exactly like playing with my daughters. Confusing, loud and I don't get a chance to do much.

When are we going to see something like this from American Apparel, except with constantly-dividing spandex-clad asses?

Just FYI, UNIQLO is a Japanese clothing chain, much like GAP. What that has to do with this site, I dunno.

I think I got my ass kicked? Or maybe I was part of an online participatory art project? Or I was part of a cruel CIA experiment? Or maybe I just helped make a video for the first single off of Luaka Bop's new Blip Hop comp? Or maybe I just learned something about myself? You know, I don't even know if I had fun. Anyone just wanna play a game of dots?

Here's another project of UNIQLO previously on MeFI: UNIQCLOCK. They seem to have a penchant for pointless but fun flash adverts.

I really thought this felt like a really weird ad. The bouncing, look-at-me brand-name squares just turns me off.
... And then all you do is... look at them.
And it turns out, I check in here, and zardoz says "Just FYI, UNIQLO is a Japanese clothing chain, much like GAP."
... This is really brilliant advertising.

I can't get over how ad-like it is! Can you imagine if you told some marketing people "hey, I bet we can have your little square logo be stared at and turned into a game as people compete to make it bigger and theirs and their own colour!" They would poo themselves. And here it is, done!
I hope you've all enjoyed your programming for the day!

Surprisingly hypnotic (and I second blacklite on this being brilliant advertising).
Thought I recognized the name, and remembered that this company got an FWA award earlier in 2007 with Uniqlock. Still not entirely sure what that's all about.

Just spent some more time with the Uniqlock. The polo shirts the dancers were wearing last summer have been replaced with turtlenecks and grey skirts, but they're still doing the same moves in the same rooms with the same camera positions. They've added a ton more music snippets to the music randomizer.
Now it changes the music mix and dance videos over the course of the day. If you hit the clock when it's late night in Japan (3 AM-ish), the music is downbeat and the 5-second video snippets are of dancers sleeping on the staircases or at desks.
And at the top of the hour, there's a 30 second video of a man dancing with a clock.
I wish I had clients cool (and rich) enough to not only to make toys like this but evolve them like this.
