This massive corporation that all of you know and the entire world knows was trying to promote its new mixed reality device.

How they chose to do this was to hook up with the “most legendary performance artist working now.” In reality, she makes her money putting herself into as many Satanic images as she can and even had 666 in her social media profile for a long time.

The ad that emerged was people wearing the device to witness a ghostly version of the artist appearing out of nowhere while walking around while wearing a symbolic red dress.

This was released on Good Friday, which was certainly unusual.

The video was not well received at all.

After a flood of negative comments and about 90% thumbs down, the company set the video to private and also removed all traces of the campaign from its official website – although it still appears in Google search results.

Microsoft deletes HoloLens commercial featuring controversial artist Marina Abramović after public backlash

Microsoft’s new mixed reality headset, the HoloLens 2, was featured in a commercial and campaign starring artist Marina Abramović, who is known for promoting and practicing arts such as Spirit Cooking.

73-year-old Abramović is one of the most important public figures in some circles, both political and in the entertainment world.

Although she originally dedicated herself to performance art for more than 40 years, in 2016 WikiLeaks revealed some emails between her and former Clinton campaign manager, John Podesta, where a new facet of the artist was revealed.

These emails revealed that Marina had performed rituals known as Spirit Cooking.

These “recipes” were meant to be “evocative instructions for actions or for thoughts”. One of the recipes calls for “13,000 grams of jealousy,” while another says to “mix fresh breast milk with fresh sperm milk.”

Abramović defended herself, indicating that this was an artistic representation where she embodied Hermeticism’s fundamental concept.

Supposedly, the act symbolized the union between man and the divine.

From Microsoft’s marketing department’s perspective, Ms. Abramović’s art seems to have been the perfect theme for their new HoloLens 2 peripherals that mix virtual reality with augmented reality. However, the public did not agree with the artist’s participation.

In a YouTube video and website page, the technology company showed a preview of the HoloLens 2 by presenting “The Life”, Marina Abramović’s newest work. – Source
