Imagine stepping into an elevator and witnessing your ascension to Heaven, or your descent to Hell–if you happen to be taking the elevator down to the street level. For those staying at the new Standard Hotel in NYC, prepare for a trip to eternity! Video artist Marco Brambilla answers the question on every mortal's mind, "what's it like?" with his video mural "Civilization," taking guests on a satirical journey to Heaven or Hell (depending on if you're going up or down). Based on Dante's Divine Comedy, the mural incorporates over 400 different video sources, several of which you'll recognize as samples from well known films. The installation is comprised of around 500 looped HD clips. Keep a sharp eye and you'll see which eternal kingdom the King of Pop himself inhabits. I knew it!
