Photographers Susanne Stemmer and Markus Morianz collaborated on the visual campaign for Life Ball 2011. Set to take place in Vienna on May 21, the theme this year is Spread The Wings of Tolerance. The events will include a special fashion show by Dsquared².
Artists and celebrities including Alicia Keys, Lady Gaga, Daphne Guinness, Janelle Monáe, David LaChapelle, Elijah Wood, Kim Kardashian, Justin Timberlake, The Buried Life, Jay Sean, Swiss Beatz and Serena Williams are giving away their life to raise awareness about AIDS. Their digital social life, that is.
In commemoration of World AIDS Day 2010, which is today, these artists will die online. No Facebook, no twitter, no new music or photos. The death will go on until $1 Million has been donated to the AIDS charity Keep a Child Alive. Go to Buy Life to donate for this very worthy cause and bring your favorite artist back to digital life.
