But we can’t forget that he was one of the greatest pop stars worldwide. In my opinion Michael was a very talented artist musically and also was a great dancer. Unfortunately he had lost focus on his career. And unfortunately had a tragic end.

This installation called “The sound before you make it” by David Lawrey and Jaki Middleton is from 2005 but we can consider it today as a tribute to Michael.

This is a great idea. Remixing a scene from Michael Jackson’s Thriller, this work employs the technology of the zoetrope; animating three-dimensional figures via the sequencing of movement and a strobe light to create the illusion that the disk is stationary and the zombies are dancing.

Michael Jackson teve vários episódios bizarros durante sua carreira, principalmente no fim dela.  Mas não podemos esquecer que ele foi um dos grandes astros do pop mundial. Na minha opinião Michael era uma artista muito talentoso musicalmente e também dançava muito.  Pena ter perdido o foco em sua carreira e ter tido um fim tão trágico.

Esta instalação chamada “The sound before you make it” de David Lawrey e Jaki Middleton é de 2005 mas serve muito bem hoje como uma homenagem ao Michael.

A idéia é muito boa. Remixando uma cena de Thriller de Michael Jackson, este trabalho emprega a tecnologia da Zoetrope, animando figuras tridimensionais através do seqüenciamento de movimentos e uma luz estroboscópica para criar a ilusão de que o disco está parado e os zumbis estão dançando.
