Whoa. We were just minding our own business around the Twitterverse when the Stan D'Arde Twitter linked to something we sort of can't take our eyes off of: a piece called "Civilization" by artist Marco Brambilla; a "video installation in the elevators at the Standard New York depicting the 'ride' from Heaven to Hell." Wow. Wow. (Note: it sort of looks like Hell to Heaven to Hell to us, but we're not sure).

Watch the whole thing here if you dont want to ride up and down the elevators at the Standard all day; and, um, we're going to just go ahead and say the Standard is lucky they've been getting good reviews because if this place was Hotel Hell, then we'd have a lot of fun writing headlines and puns with this one.

it's totally cool!

I saw it the other day in the hotel and it's really funny. The entire elevator is pitch black except for this video. You'll probably be so engrossed watching it, you'll miss your floor!
