Marco Brambilla: Civilization

The Standard Hotel in New York, recently declared to be the Municipal Art Society's Best New Building of 2009, has an incredibly stunning HD video installation located in, of all places, their elevators!

Civilization, a chronological video sequence using over 500 looping clips to simulate the “journey” from hell to heaven plays on high-definition monitors which are seen through a viewing port in each of the elevators at the hotel and move according to the direction of the elevator.

It's awesome and I can't wait to check it out in person later on this year!

Do yourself a favor and check out Civilization by Marco Brambilla and Crush, Toronto.

One in 8 Million

Above: Meet Joel Karp: The Corner Druggest
This is really nice. Like most cities on planet earth, each one is a city of stories, a parade of people with something to say. One in 8 Million is a collection of passions and problems, relationships and routines, vocations and obsessions from some of the folks that make New York New York.

I'm really looking forward to checking out the weekly additions to these roughly 2 and a half minute segments.

If you love real people you'll love this. New York Characters in Sound and Images.
