The Other Genius Behind Kanye's "Power"

I was completely blown away by Kanye's "moving painting" for his song "Power". Just f'ing GENIUS, visually AMAZING and the most innovative work I've seen in music in a long time.  I would love to walk around that man's brain for just a few minutes to see what the hell is going on in there. Aside from how people feel about his arrogance, mild tourette's, and meltdowns, artistically that man is the truth and cannot be denied.  But with that being said, I can't give all of the credit to Kanye.  According to the NY times he saw Marco Brambilla's (movie director and the director of Power) piece entitled "Civilization" and was inspired to work with the director on his own project.  I watched Civilization and was again blown away. He is an incredible artist.  Check out "Civilization" and "Power" below.  If you're interested in seeing more of Marco Brambilla's work, visit his website here.
