This video mural by Marco Brambilla is both gorgeous and startling. It reminds me of the crazier, more apocalyptic works of Hieronymus Bosch and Pieter Bruegel, sped up from a 16th century medium to one more emblematic of the 21st…  Via Presurfer:

Civilization, a video mural created for the new Standard hotel in New York City, depicts a journey from hell to heaven interpreted through modern film language using computer-enhanced found footage

This epic video mural contains over 300 individual channels of looped video blended into a multi-layered seamless tableau of interconnecting images that illustrate a contemporary, satirical take on the concepts of Heaven and Hell.

I don’t think our lobbies are ready for art like this, but should you ever see anything like it in the Wedgewood or the Four Seasons anytime soon, give us a holler.

PS. Read a Q&A with the artist and see stills of his installation here.
