In Christopher Walken’s immortal words: “I need more cowbell!” From Thursday’s very fun, if slightly disorienting, mashup on Venice Beach for the latest #LostIn guidebook, its first for a whole country, and #Switzerland, which helped make it happen. Good to see Jon and Mike Skogmo #roseroom
'Whispers' uses AI prompts from audience members to create a collaborative, interactive and quite fun murder mystery experience. It's the latest from Emmy winner Bernie Su and Pickford.ai, and fascinating in its possibilities. Read more on my take here: www.forbes.com/sites/dbloom...
Delightful conversation between Turner Award-winning artist Keith Tyson and Oxford astrophysicist Pedro Ferreira, for Hauser & Wirth's Ursula magazine. Love this kind of wildly diverse cross-collaboration and thinking: www.hauserwirth.com/ursula/an-ar...
