Here’s what to know before you go to Viola’s Room, by Punchdrunk
My whole trip to New York was “artsy.” I had a slate of museum visits already, but Viola’s Room at The Shed provided an additional kiss of culture to fill my creative soul. To say that I saw the exhibit would be inaccurate. This auditory presentation is one that you have to experience. Crouching, slithering,…

Ubisoft makes more than video games
You probably thought you were just playing an immersive video game. If you have ever played Assassin’s Creed Unity, you probably really enjoyed the game play.

Artechouse used Love is Blind to its advantage
I went to Artechouse back in February. It was an immersive experience that allowed me to experience the creative power of AI. I went alone and was able to linger in each space and contemplate for an extended time. I look fondly on that time and plan to get over there to see more exhibits.…

Andrei Molodkin refuses to sit idly by, with the possibility that the WikiLeaks founder might die in prison. Molodkin has chosen to hold art for ransom.

The airport at Punta Cana is unnecessarily beautiful
Hi, this is the start of a quick travel series based on my recent trip to Punta Cana in the Dominican Republic. Let’s start with the airport.

At the heart of the Bansky and Guess controversy is trademarks
I could start this philosophically, asking, “Does anyone really own art?” Because that is the question here. Somehow, in ways unknown to me now, the group Brandalised secured the rights to use Banksy’s art. This group then provided Guess the right to use that work on a clothing capsule. Neither of these groups are affiliated…
