Solitaire 902 Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 I was doing a little research for a college class in which I have to choose a project by a well known artist and reconstruct the project's promotion and direction/concept. So naturally I choose ARTPOP (gonna get that lecture hall promo for gagz). As I was collecting raw media to begin working with, I came across this reimagination of one of my favorite things Gaga has ever done: the reading of the first chapter of Solaris by Stanislaw Lem. The reimagination includes video from the pre-Venus era Elle photoshoot, and I found it so beautiful and dramatic that I had to share it with you guys. You can almost imagine that Gaga is setting up the ARTPOP era with this reading; as if in the video she is readying herself to be launched to another planet in a 60's era sci-fi movie & the reading is her narrating her soon to occur launch from Earth. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gO9HblhvFto Not to be a Debby downer, but I really wish ARTPOP had kept this kind of artistic, dramatic space romanticism that the pre-Applause and mini Venus eras had :cry: - Previously Sycothisis Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emvee 8,367 Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 I can see this really fitting a whole album of ARTPOPs (the song). That song is so celestial. It also would've been a natural progression from the space renegade themes that were emerging at the end of the Born This Way era. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ItsTommyBitch 12,640 Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 "When Do i take off" Rocket #9 Take off to the planet, To the Planet, VENUS o/ This is amazing, I had no idea she did this, i spent half the video like.. this REALLY sounds like gaga... IT CANT BE! *edit* Get that promo Prometheus :3 私自身もこの世の中も誰もかれもが, どんなに華やかな人生でも, どんなに悲惨な人生でも, いつかは変貌し, 破壊され、消滅してしまう. すべてがもともとこの世に存在しない一瞬の幻想なのだから Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solitaire 902 Posted June 4, 2014 Author Share Posted June 4, 2014 I can see this really fitting a whole album of ARTPOPs (the song). That song is so celestial. It also would've been a natural progression from the space renegade themes that were emerging at the end of the Born This Way era. I've been craving an ambient/urban/celestial sounding album from Gaga, I think it'd really be something special. This was right after Gaga started the "ARTPOP Aliens" thing. I was disappointed when she didn't run with the theme, I think it would've been much more interesting than what we got.. which tbh, seems like no overarching theme at all.. "When Do i take off" Rocket #9 Take off to the planet, To the Planet, VENUS o/ This is amazing, I had no idea she did this, i spent half the video like.. this REALLY sounds like gaga... IT CANT BE! *edit* Get that promo Prometheus :3 This is literally one of my favorite things Gaga has ever done. I was hoping ARTPOP would include more of this kind of thing. Experimental performance art type stuff. are yo Agatha Vincent? I love your videos tbh No haha, I'm not. But if the rest of her videos are this good, I'll have to check them out! What do you recommend? me too :nooo: i don't really like venus so much as a song but i want it to be a single just for the visuals Venus is easily my favorite song from ARTPOP, but I agree, the visuals would've been AMAZING. Just imagine what the video would've been like. Ruth Hogben, the lady that shot the Elle photo shoot was supposed to direct the video for Venus. So the video from the shoot would probably been reminiscent of how the music video might have looked. WHY did Gaga have to give up on the good sis Venus? :cry: - Previously Sycothisis Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaga was a part of a long duration reading of Solaris as a fundraiser for and to raise awarness for Marina Abramovic's new school for performance artists. This was right after Gaga underwent the "Abramovic" process to "clear her mind and start anew", just before or around the release of Applause. This is the original video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=60YIo_G5xWk - Previously Sycothisis Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it was the original plan for ARTPOP to be an entire era of high art incorporation, but for what ever reason, it didn't come to fruition. Hopefully the next album or Act II will be on a viral level of success instead of one of average success for pop music & Gaga will use the new platform for her "ARTPOP" movement. I'm thinking of posting my project here on Gaga Daily. Hopefully it won't be seen as one of those "Little Manager/What Could've Been Differently" threads. :roll: - Previously Sycothisis Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
