On Tuesday evening Ferrari hosted a private dinner for video artist Marco Brambilla at The Standard Hotel (whose elevators have featured a Brambilla video, "Civilization", running on two screens since it's opening a few years ago). Ferrari selected the hotel’s Highline Room to unveil Brambilla's new 3-D kaleidoscopic mash-up single-channel video installations. Party-goers donned 3D glasses while Brambilla's new video, "RPM", was played on a two-minute loop throughout the night. The piece features a blinding array of spliced-together photographs that serve as a psychological portrait of a Formula One racer. The director photographed the myriad images composing the short film at the Italian Formula One Grand Prix in Monza.
