PINUP ARTISTS

SIMPLE MATERIALS create textured visuals. Eric Daigh uses duct tape, push pins, and other pedestrian materials for his compositions.

3D Video Projections

Frank Gehry & Damien Hirst does Lady GaGa at the MOCA

Last Saturday, the Museum of Contemporary Art in Los Angeles celebrated its 30th anniversary with a huge gala, featuring Lady GaGa's world debut of her song, 'Speechless'.
Lady GaGa, who is known for her outrageous looks, wore a hat designed by Frank Gehry (possibly an old architectural model) and a dress designed by artist Damien Hirst (no dead animals were harmed) which were auctioned off for charity later in the night. The Hirst-designed piano which Gaga played on was also auctioned off.Fortunately Uncle Frank didn't perform his version of Poker Face.

Here's the GehristGaGala:
