Kanye West has commissioned a video work by critically acclaimed artist, Marco Brambilla, to accompany the release of his new single “Power” from his upcoming album.

The Details:

Power is a neo-classical video tableau, a single continuous camera move from an
extreme close up of Mr. West gradually revealing an epic composition
showing characters and creatures surrounding him in an abstract
environment – all moving in extreme slow motion. Inspired by
Michelangelo’s frescos in the Sistine Chapel, the piece depicts a faux
historical moment – an empire on the brink of collapse from its own
excess, decadence and corruption.

I can’t wait to see what they both come up with. To check out more on this artist and his collection of works go to www.marcobrambilla.com

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.
