Paintball Marilyn Monroe

I used Stumble Upon to find the below video. It's a paintball team in which set up on bleachers with designated colors to recreate an Andy Warhol-like representation of Marilyn Monroe. This video reminded me a lot of the chocolate syrup "Numa-Numa" guy portrait that we watched in class. It fuses art history (Andy Warhol, pop art, pointalism, etc) with current technology (video, youtube, internet, stumble upon) with a nontraditional medium (paintballs). The group dynamic also reminded me of the thumb-tack video we watched. I'm particularly drawn to artwork which depends on a group or audience participation because it's difficult to get everyone on the same page for anything, especially a piece of artwork. I found this video highly entertaining. Enjoy.
