when TV Pow (a laptop trio from Chicago) played NYC last year, they ran a 
silent video behind their performance, showing another concert of theirs. for 
the first 15 minutes, nothing much happened, so you had three guys on stage 
staring at their screens and the same three guys on the video staring at 
their screens in different shirts. 

after that, though, the video versions gradually became more and more 
agitated, climaxing in breaking laptops over their knees, throwing equipment 
around, and generally going crazy, all silently, and all while their live 
counterparts were still twiddling their mouses and remaining thoroughly 
subdued. very entertaining stuff.
