If you’re a fan of Coldplay, you might want to get involved in this.

Coldplay has a film to the Moon Music album. Wait, sorry: a visual companion. Called A Film for the Future, the 44-minute production enlisted the help of 150 visual artists from around the world. Each creator was given bits and told to go nuts when it came to coming up with visuals. All submissions were then edited together to create the film.

But there’s an additional thing. When the video goes live, there will be a chance to get involved in a “fan-led remix” using some AI provided by Microsoft. It will allow the submitted clips to be shuffled around to create individual versions of the film.

A Film for the Future (and the remix site) will premiere on Coldplay’s YouTube channel on January 22.
