Being able to interact with the work of your favourite music artists is a game changer. Here at Protein we recently featured a few crowdsourced projects, where musicians have surprised their fans online. For their latest music video, Australian band [Blightly](http://www.prote.in/en/feed/2013/04/beginnings-and-endings?ref=protein.xyz) used API searches of tweets, matching them up to the song lyrics, and creating a unique tweet stream. Welsh Band Masters in France have used [Ventune](http://www.prote.in/en/feed/2013/04/vinetune?ref=protein.xyz), syncing lyrics this time to hashtags from Vine. Not to mention recent crazy video by [Tanlines](http://www.prote.in/en/feed/2013/02/tanlines-not-the-same?ref=protein.xyz), that can be fully chopped and manipulated by internet fans against a psuedo-Photoshop background.   
  
Amsterdam-based band Light Light worked with Moniker studio, developing a music video for their single ['Do Not Touch'](http://donottouch.org/?ref=protein.xyz). Viewers are warned that their cursors are being recorded, and asked to follow a series of on-screen instructions, ranging from 'play the bass' to 'put yourself on the line'. Cloud of cursors from previous users try and follow the same directions. The pointing and clicking data is recorded every hour.   
  
The project celebrates the 'near end' of a humble computer cursor, allowing users to see the private on-screen actions of others.
