Rufus Wainwright's New Music Video Features Fans' Instagrams [VIDEO]

Singer-songwriter Rufus Wainwright's lyric music video for his new song "Out of the Game" is a visual feast full of Instagram photos culled from a crowdsourced contest he launched in April.

The clip, shared first with Mashable on Thursday, is the result of Wainwright challenging fans to take Instagram photos that represent a word in the song's lyrics. Participants submitted snaps using hashtag #OutOfTheGame and a second hashtag with the word the image represents.

All submissions also became part of a mosaic on instagram.rufaswainwright.com. Some images will be used in a limited-edition print book.

Earlier this year, singer-songwriter Jason Mraz also tasked fans to use Instagram to visually translate his latest single, "I Won't Give Up," into one photograph. In March, he brought those images to life during a recent New York City gallery event held for winners.
