Usher and Nas have teamed up for a powerful new interactive video that dares viewers to turn away from the faces of black Americans who died at the hands of police. The black-and-white interactive video is on Jay-Z?s subscription-based music streaming service Tidal and accompanies the pair?s new protest song, Chains. After permitting Tidal access to your computer?s webcam the video pauses for extended periods of time on the faces of Trayvon Martin, Rekia Boyd, Sean Bell among others. If you look away or let your eyes wander, the video pauses, accompanied by the words: ?Don?t look away.? If you switch to another tab or window, the music and video automatically stop. The effect is undeniably eerie.
