Kanye West “Power”
The idea of a video portrait or a “moving painting” as Kanye refers to it is very interesting. In a day and age where there is a fear of motion and multimedia killing the still image and print media- this is a an inspiring reference for the ever blurring line of photography, video, and cgi. Being familiar with Marco Brambilla’s Civilization and always a fan of Kanye I actually watched the premiere last night live on MTV. Amongst the numerous Renaissance, Mythological, and Egyptian references, my favorite is the Sword of Damocles seen hanging over Kanye’s head. Hit the jump for a Vulture interview with Brambilla.

Jon Warren from Vans on Taka Hayashi

Great to see a fine artist breathe new life into a product and apparel line. Interesting how the line evolved and is dependent on the artist’s sensibilities.
Having become such an integral part of Vans’ ongoing success thanks to his design work, Jon Warren has worked together with Taka Hayashi to bring to life the Japanese American’s creative visions. Shot recently at Bread & Butter Berlin, we discuss his work together with Hayashi.
