The video for Radiohead’s single "House of Cards" from album In_Rainbows was made without the use of cameras. Zoo Films directed the clip using different
camera-less technologies (live 3D laser scanners) to create the video. The band made all the data compiled to create the images available to fans,
allowing fans who know how to manipulate such
information to make their own versions of the video.
"No cameras or lights were used. Instead two technologies were used to capture 3D images: Geometric Informatics and Velodyne LIDAR. Geometric Informatics scanning systems produce structured light to capture 3D images at close proximity, while a Velodyne Lidar system that uses multiple lasers is used to capture large environments such as landscapes. In this video, 64 lasers rotating and shooting in a 360 degree radius 900 times per minute produced all the exterior scenes."

“I always like the idea of using technology in a way that it
wasn’t meant to be used, the struggle to get your head round what you
can do with it. I liked the idea of making a video of human beings and
real life and time without using any cameras, just lasers, so there are
just mathematical points — and how strangely emotional it ended up
being,” Thom Yorke said.
"It's a direct reflection of where we are in society, everything around us is data driven in some way, our lifes are digital".

Max Braun used the data released by radiohead to create his own video:
I also had a go at manipulating the footage myself... here are some stills:
