It says on that page, btw:
"Ambient video producer colorcalm gave us a sneak peek at their upcoming DVD called by Design. It features video art by John Maeda, Food Coloring above right, with music by Ryuichi Sakamoto, Irma Boom's Barcodes (left) with music by Michael Nyman and Peter Saville's Colour Wheel with music by New Order/Terranova. The next DVD is already in development and will feature submissions by... you. A contest will determine the featured video art. Details to follow."
With a link to the DVD's website here.
(The date of the above message was 5th September, btw, so the DVD in question hasn't actually come out yet)!
Hmmm... God knows! Their other DVD's feature classical music set to moving clouds, allowing you to interactively change colour halfway through... ![]()
And here is the snippet out of the press release (dated October 17th)
The final piece, “Color Wheel,” is by British designer Peter Saville with music by New Order. Comprised of two separate pieces, Saville uses a color palette inspired by the Renaissance period to create a colorscape accompanied by a Terranova remix of New Order’s track “Elegia.” In the second piece, Saville explores the transition between two specific colors, blue to red, accompanied by the full-length original New Order track.
and more importantly: The Colorcalm by Design DVD, priced at $19.99, will be available exclusively at Conran Shops in New York, London, Tokyo and Paris from October 17, 2005.

The Terranova remix of "Eliga" was overseen directly by Peter Saville is that interests anyone. Has he been involved in any other JD or NO tracks other than the art direction?
