Laurence Gartel has been involved with digital media since the early ’70s, beginning his artistic exploration of computers on analog machines long before anyone else. This guy has been at it so long he taught Andy Warhol how to create digital media.

For the last few years, Gartel has been looking at supercars as a vehicle, so to speak, for his works. Gartel holds nothing sacred when it comes to Ferraris (or Tesla Roadsters, etc…), arguing that art can make just about anything more meaningful.

His latest creation follows that ethos to a T. It’s a Ferrari 430 Scuderia that Gartel ‘enhanced’ with a pyschedelic vinyl he designed on a computer. Gartel’s people claim Gartel’s work pushes the value of the Scud near $1 million. Your definition of value may vary… In any case, check out the video, along with the press release, after the break.

Cadillac trotted out its new new pitchman during the Rose Bowl on New Year’s day, with Laurence Fishburne starring in a pair of new spots that show off Cadillac’s 556-horsepower CTS-V Coupe and Sedan.

The first commercial, which runs a full minute in length, takes aim at cold, “blue-blooded” luxury, then goes on to explain why the CTS-V has personality, gusto and glamor when compared to other high performance luxury offerings. The second, 30-second spot takes a slightly more artistic approach, and you can check them both out after the jump.
