I've recently been thinking concurrently about the Venetian Renaissance masterpiece Hyperotomachia Poliphili and cute hip-hop mama Rye Rye. There seems to be some connection there, somewhere. Then I came across this Rye Rye Dirty Dancing video mash-up that Adam Murfet made, and the Eros/Venus/hot-and-awkward dance floor action all joined together, from Venice, 1499 to the Catskills in the '80s to Baltimore, now. He says:
After watching "Dirty Dancing"... I thought with some technical touch up's this scene would work well with the Rye Rye Track Wassup Wassup. I created a music video for the song with edited clips from the 80's classic "Dirty Dancing". Love to Mad Decent, Rye Rye and Dirty Dancing.
Who authored Hypnerotomachia Poliphili, translated as The Strife of Love in a Dream, in English? Odds are it was a monk kicked out of the convent for sexual transgressions.
