The video is an art project undertaken by Francisco Zamorano and his team. To create the video, Olga and her crew used a hacked Kinect, a laptop, an LED projector, and a DSLR camera. Different masks of light were created using face tracking code; some responded to the movement of Bell's face and others responded to the sound of her voice.
This is a really cool application of technology in the world of art. It's pretty neat to think that every song would create a unique light show. In fact, it's likely that no two performances would ever be the same.
Below is the video of Bell singing Chase No Face, along with a second video that features some behind-the-scenes footage if you'd like to see a little bit more on how this was all put together.
