Civilization is a video mural on display at the Standard hotel. As the elevator goes up, the visuals change to depict images of heaven; as the elevator goes down, the visuals change to depict images of hell. The project was a collaboration between Marco Brambilla and Crush.
Though the video is on Vimeo, you absolutely have to view it here to see all the details. I was really tempted to post the video here on the blog, but you just simply have to see it at a larger size.

Felix has given the Heimlich Manuever not once... but twice, to two different people. He's happy to report that both attempts were successful.
Felix has perfect pitch. If you play a note, he can guess what it is with a pretty decent degree of accuracy. He attributes this skill to learning music at an early age.
Felix has an Adults Only section, featuring racy photos of him in various poses and outfits. If you are 18 or older, you can view them by clicking here.
This is a very cool concept. When I first read it though, I thought WOW, what a unique installation of a wallcovering mural print. (Full building height, 150 feet high x 6'wide.) (Viewed like varying subway images at the station.
But wouldn't it be cool to create something like this for a glass elevator installation? that is, unless you LIVE or work on the bottom floor.... Kind of depressing, I would imagine.... Dante's inferno and all...
