Kanye fans will recognize Brambilla's work on "Power," and those who frequent the Standard Hotel have seen his permanent video installation called "Civilization" that runs on the screens in the elevators.
Lady Gaga's video is full of references from Michelangelo to Hinduism to the Illuminati to Michael Jackson. But when does inspiration become theft? While it's not outright plagiarism like the case of Rihanna and David LaChapelle, there are enough similarities between "Born This Way," and Brambilla to be acknowledged.
Perhaps an all caps rage Tweet from Kanye West will get a simple nod of appreciation from pop star to artist?
