Relentless

Fancy observing your own descent into hell?

This video mural entitled Civilisation was created by Marco Brambilla for the new (and bizarrely named) Standard hotel in NYC. 

The mural uses over 400 ‘found’ video sources, including film samples, which are weaved into a massive vertical canvas that runs the length of the elevator shaft. The 1920 x 7500 pixel piece either chronicles your ascent to heaven as you go up, or your descent to hell as you head to the lobby.

Go for the full screen HD option - very cool.
