For only $150,000, you can be like Brad Pitt or Salma Hayek.

How? Commission a high-definition "video portrait" - kind of a mini cinematic homage on a plasma flat screen - from New York multi-media pioneer Robert Wilson, whose haunting works of these gorgeous A-listers have been garnering huge amounts of buzz lately.

Imagine a continuous loop of your favorite celebrity in stunning detail, moving in slow motion and essentially performing in a play as short as 30 seconds and as long as 20 minutes. The works redefine what the very idea of "portrait" even means. Just take a look at the images online at stage.voom.tv/robert_wilson.

"You get a very different quality of image," says Wilson whose unique artistic creations are available to anyone who can afford the hundred-grand-plus price tag - either to purchase or to have one made.

"I mean, you can see the pores in the skin. You can see every hair in the heads. So it's like a real live portrait."
