What we're reading & watching

Meet Salome Asega, the Multihyphenate Artist Working to Diversify the Tech World.

How to Build a Creative Ecology: it may be more art than science, but there appear to be a few basic conditions that can help give rise to places where artists can make a living.

Can data ever know who we really are? "In the systems of the future, we need more than just fast and frictionless — we need nuance, acknowledgement of what came before, and an aspiration to make changes that improve lives for everyone, not just the most visible few."

Projects we're eyeballing

Drawing from more than fifty short stories, poems and historical letters, The Raven crafts an immersive tale of mystery and suspense. It is premiering at the New York Film Festival this October. Tickets available.

Arcadia Earth is a multi-room exhibit, designed by experiential artist Valentino Vettori. It addresses the challenges of global sustainability through spatial art installations, virtual reality and augmented reality. Currently open in New York.
