I have always been into weird Japanese games (Vib Ribbon, Mosquito, Katamari Damacy...).
Now there is finally happening something also outside the console world.
PC-developers have created various computer vision solutions like the MBM project and Perttu Hämäläinen (animaatiokone.net) but otherwise (outside Japan) experimentations seen to happen in academic settings.
A few picks:
TileToy.org
really innovative, stylish (kinda iPod I think), funny and simple realization of the idea. Supports the current must-have idea of "users as innovators".

Another somewhat interesting site is
>> http://www.experimentalgameplay.com/
Also: http://egl.gatech.edu/ does academic experimentations.
The Center for Research in Computing and the Arts (CRCA) is an Organized Research Unit of the University of California

And certainly indie games have (at least in principle) possibilities to experiment without financial limitations.
