An 8 foot by 16 foot 3D video installation of Marco Brambilla video piece "Evolution" is best seen in full screen mode

The video on that page is of Civilization, which was previously featured on The Blue.

There is, apparently, no video of Evolution available online. Just this one still.

Here's a bit more information on Evolution (Megaplex), the full title of the piece.

I totally fail at art-linking to. Blagh. Delete away!

If it's getting deleted, then let me just say that (apart from being awesome, and something I'd love to see in person) it reminds me of the final battle of Final Fantasy 6. The music, perhaps?

This should have a Not Safe For Acid warning.

This post turned me onto both of these amazing pieces, as I had never seen Civilization before. So thank you!

I can't see in 3D. I'm automatically less impressed.

Better quality version of Civilization.

See also his similar Sapporo ad.

Also cool: Ghost.

Was waiting for the level with the singing turrets.

Overdeveloped biceps (and a blimp) are apparently the major manifestations of the evolution of Homo Sapiens. Thank you, Santa Monica. I think I'll see if a vinyl copy of one of Devo's albums can help me unsee this.
