There’s only one thing worse than Times Square during New Year’s Eve, and that’s Times Square during this year’s Super Bowl. MetLife Stadium in New Jersey — where the so-called New York Giants and Jets play — will be hosting this year’s event featuring the Denver Broncos facing off against the Seattle Seahawks. But because […]
ANIMAL’s feature Artist’s Notebook asks artists to show us their original “idea sketch” next to a finished piece. This week, Chicago-based new media artist Jennifer Chan talks about the Yaoi roots of her video piece P.A.U.L. This is my Downloads folder. I collect digital things compulsively.

ANIMAL’s feature Game Plan asks video game developers to share a bit about their process and some working images from the creation of a recent game. This week, we spoke with Christopher Johnson about Moirai, a game that lets players unknowingly judge one another for making a difficult decision. Christopher Johnson saw a play that […]
Modern Pinball NYC, a recently opened “interactive pinball showroom” on 3rd Avenue near 26th Street, is a cornucopia of paddles, flashing lights, and multiballs. All of the machines are for sale — they run from about $5,000 to $15,000-plus for a nice vintage piece — though you’d never know it at first glance. The atmosphere […]
