If anything gave a distinctive look to the 80's it was him.
"In the 80s, the “Nagel Woman” was ubiquitous. She appeared in magazines
and on album covers and on the walls of nail salons and clothing
boutiques. Women, and even some men, emulated her. 2A Gallery’s
exhibition Patrick Nagel is the product of a collaboration
between a collector who acquired Nagel works in the 80s, simply because
he liked them, and a gallerist for whom those same works signified –
through art, music, fashion, and pop culture – an entire era"

"While developing a video game about World War II's Battle of Okinawa in
which 150,000 Japanese were killed, many by suicide, Laura (Catherine
Belkhodja) becomes increasingly drawn into her work. Chris Marker's
elaborate, colorful LEVEL FIVE is a patchwork of mesmerizing and
pixelated images, archives, history, interviews (including with the
Japanese director Nagisa Oshima), and quasi-science fiction, LEVEL FIVE
prefigures the director's fascination with digital worlds, which he also
explored in installations, interactive CD-ROMs, and later, digital
platforms."
