Lady Gaga’s much anticipated video for Born This Way was released this morning. The entire 7:20 minutes are an exercise in visual stimulation to the nth degree. Both commercial and extraordinarily creative, Gaga’s team has successfully woven wet kaleidoscopes, high art references and popular culture together for a playful and catchy accompaniment. Bravo!
