I think that in a weird way, as technology gets more sophisticated, people have become less aware of it. It’s become part of our day to day life.

Usually, the energy in elevators is so awkward; I mean, I can’t imagine the politics in the ones in the Conde Nast building. Marco Brambilla Read Quote
I’m a huge cinemaphile. My interest in filmmaking came out of experimenting with different genres, and I wanted to go back to working in a way that was more personal, which, for me, was artwork. Commercials and films are more collaborative. Marco Brambilla Read Quote
