The Squid stories: Technology

Check out this music video for singer-songwriter Boggie revealing real-time digital retouching, in reaction to the the ever-present standard norm to digital manipulation of models, actresses and other entertainers for television and magazine covers.

Music directors Nagy and Lőrincz show in this music video, in real-time, Boggie's computerized cosmetic transformation. See her make-up free, natural face transform/mutate into her ‘public face’, the visualization of an aesthetically acceptable and pleasing person in showbizz nowadays. Beauty with a lot of irony!

We know. Expect the most crazy, over-the-top stunts from La Gaga. So when we spotted this 'flying dress', we didn't even asked ourselves why.

Yes, she has to promote a new album 'Art Pop', which will be released worldwide today, november 11th, 2013. And yes she has a team ( Called TechHAUS as they are the technical division of Haus of Gaga, her creative team) that knows where to find or to make the latest high tech stuff.

How does it work?

The 'flying dress' is a super high-tech transport prototype named ‘Volantis’ and is constructed out of six, rotund disks in a hexagonal formation and a body-suit like contraption that straps onto Miss Gaga.

The video shows the first test demonstration in New York yesterday, hesitating, slowly hovering over the ground. Not very spectacular, not very 'Gaga', but it's a start. It looks like a lot of machinery for such a small flight. But, as we know, she'll make it work, or at least her team will.
