RANDOM COOL: Marco Brambilla’s “Civilization”

Edited by Rebecca Alexander

The newly-opened Standard Hotel in New York gives you a glimpse of heaven when you take the elevator up to their rooms and a glimpse of hell on the way back down to the lobby. Created by artist Marco Brambilla, “Civilization” is a video mural based on Dante’s Divine Comedy, that scrolls in synch with the movement of the 18-storey hotel’s elevators.

You can watch a the high res version of the video here.
