Credits Neverending

Li Xin and Eirik Fatland's Credit Neverending (2006) is a television show that has been repeatedly broadcast on Finish televsion. From Fatland's site:

You turn on the TV set. What appears is a list of credits, indicating that some movie or show has just ended. But as you wait, the credits keep on scrolling. And scrolling. And scrolling... If you read them, you notice that some of the names and titles make little sense. And if you read them carefully, you eventually find the URL of a website, where you may add your own credits to the list.

Having been an undergrad film production student, I've seen many student films where the credits were longer than the film with the auteurs crediting themselves in every possible way using lingering text.

So this project had me at neverending credits. Perhaps I'm jaded, but the interactive aspect of it doesn't really do anything for me. I'd actually prefer it if it created it own truly never ending credits by seeking out peoples' names from the internet.

By the way, Eirik has an interesting formatted, data visualization-esque CV... though I not sure what light green is intended to represent (blue, I gather, is education). Perhaps a legend would be a good addition.
