Teyana Taylor's Iris van Herpen dress is not the only surprise in Doja Cat's latest music video Woman, released early this month. There are also CSS, Javascript and Python.

“Close the gender gap in tech.” This is the mission of the American association Girls Who Code with which the rapper Doja Cat collaborates for her music video Woman, released on December 3.

Founded in 2012 to increase the percentage of young women in IT, the nonprofit says on its website: “In 1995, 37% of computer scientists were women. Today, it’s only 24%. The percent will continue to decline if we do nothing.”

This is how Woman was born, a music video unlike any other, being the first programmable, code-responsive, music video. More exactly, it is is joined with a video game intended to introduce players to different computer languages: CSS, Javascript and Python.

It is therefore possible to modify the code of certain passages of the video, for example, during the scene where a robot does a manicure on Teyana Taylor’s nails. The player can change the color of the singer's nails but also at another time, the size and color of flower petals falling on Doja Cat.

Also note, to stay on the tech topic, that the dress worn by Teyana Taylor for instance in the robotic manicure scene is signed by the Dutch designer Iris van Herpen.

Iris van Herpen, always lyrical about the descriptions of her creations, mentioned her dress, in the following terms, on her Instagram account on December 8: “The Labyrinthine gown is made from 3D lasercut  metallic dendrites that are heat-bonded to white transslucent organza and hand-stitched onto lasercut pearlescent skeletal labyrinths, creating a vibrating exoskeleton of weaving waves."

Check out the Woman music video below. The link to the game is posted below the video.
