What was the inspiration for the “star journey”? (update)

The artwork “Creation (Megaplex),” installed in the elevators at the Standard Highline in New York’s Meatpacking District, has previously been cited here as an inspiration for Floreat Lux‘s star journey episode. That work has now been replaced by another Marco Brambilla video collage, “Heaven’s Gate,” still seductive, although more linear than the swirling vortex that fit so well with Sabrina’s hallucinogenic voyage into deep inner/outer space. In addition to the Standard’s elevators, the new artwork has been installed in more monumental form at various galleries in London, Las Vegas, Montreal, and Miami. A video of the installation at the last of these, including commentary from the artist, can be seen here.
