BAD ASS MOTHER FUCKER (BADASS MOTHERFUCKER)

On May 4th, 2007, Internet users were asked to help isolate Michael Jackson's white glove in all 10,060 frames of his nationally televised landmark performance of Billy Jean. 72 hours later 125,000 gloves had been located. The resulting data was released freely as an input into any digital system, resulting in a series of video based visualizations.
