Beeple’s collab with Madonna is all about celebrating birth, but it drains the life out of pop’s biggest star:
that the “Mother of…” trilogy was the result of an intimate, year-long collaboration between Beeple and Madonna, I might have thought that Venice offered some inspiration.The Beeple-ized Madonna has a thread-like blonde mane and hairless, rubbery body that make her look unmistakably like a Barbie doll—and not the updated, body-positive Barbies, either.
Beeple’s Madonna registers exactly no emotion as she engages in the looping, animated purgatory of supernatural birth. You don’t think, “Wow, magical.” You think, “Whoa, they went there.” But I left thinking that the key aesthetic fact was how emotionally dead it all felt. The work takes a lot of images that flow frenetically through the online mind and gives them enough of an extra gross-out twist to get you to stop for a second. The effect is all in the difference between the shock on a human level and the inhuman emotional flatness of it. Beeple’s people are generally blank-faced, or turned away from the viewer, without any sense of interiority.
