Elevator Takes You from Hell to Heaven and Back [Art]

It's probably safe to say that videoartist Marco Brambilla is a bit crazy. Actually, it's probably safe to say he's absolutely nuts after watching Civilization, the video-window montage that will take you from hell to heaven in an elevator.

I had to watch his dementedly baroque video—which is featured at The Standard Hotel, New York—a few times to get all the details. In the process, I got scared but aroused at the same time. Strangely enough, now I want pizza.

Pizza topped with tomato, cheese, little people, marshmallows, flames, and naked angels. [Motionographer via Dark Roasted Blend]
