Need a break? Got a few minutes to spare? Check out this viral video that's eyefuls of fun from Berlin band The Whitest Boy Alive.

When Erlend Øye (of Norweigan folk-pop group Kings of Convenience*) *wanted to release a new single for his pet project The Whitest Boy Alive, he enlisted fans through an online TV station for a homespun video.

Italian director Mauro Vecchiwon the contest by setting a series of famous optical illusions to song Golden Cage, a stripped-down guitar melody. The winning clip also includes graphic demonstrations of well-known impossible objects, including the Möbius strip and Reutersvärd's triangle.*
