1. Lorde vs. Kanye
Why is Lorde angry at Kanye West? V a Instagram's story, the singer accused the Kids See Ghosts (West and Kid Cudi's rap duo) stealing a design for a large neon-based transparent floating box that she used for Coachello, set in 2017, and the next world tour Melodrama. The See Ghosts children used a similar rectangle that was on the weekend at Tyler, the creator's camp Flog Gnaw.
Well, they look alike? They are working!
Who actually designed the boxes? Lorde designed his field in collaboration with designer Es Devlin (who also worked with the West in the past, most recently on his Yeezus tour in the 2013-2014 period); Kids See Ghosts "was designed by the company Trask's house, which also worked on the western floating stage Saint Pablo.
Hmm. Have not I seen people in floating boxes yet? John McGuire, owner of Trask House, said in e-mail that Lorde "was not the first person to use a floating glass box, she will not be the last. Her owner is not, her designer did not invent it." He added: "Cubes and floating are not new to Kanye West, phase or architecture. A quick google floating glass box brings many examples of suspended glass cubes. "
As people stressed on Twitter, Justin Bieber, David Blaine, Pope and the game "The pain of youth" they used similar settings, such as ASAP Rocky and Kendrick Lamar. (Devlin also published examples of her earlier work on Instagram, created in 2007 in the opera "Carmen".)
It looks like a metaphor for glory if I ever hear one.
