Attend an event at the Barclays Center, and you’re greeted by a luxuriant ambience–top-notch local food, black leather trim everywhere, and a smell like the inside of a brand new Benz.

Concurrently, the objects were offered for sale via the Shapeways website, a service that allows customers to upload […]
Hey, New York. Enjoying the weather today?

For her ITP class project, NYU student/designer Xuedi Chen used 3D-printing software and chia seeds to spawn these mossy fashion accessories. Their origins are somewhat grotesque: The Invasive Growth Series was directly inspired by a parasitic fungus. The cordyceps operates by infecting an insect with spores, growing inside the insect while performing a sort of “mind control” […]
The artist Haroon Mirza — best known for his artwork featuring “found electrical appliances together with audio compositions to create site-specific installations” — is in a new solo exhibition /o/o/o/o/ at London’s Lisson Gallery, opening today. However, there’s no reason we can’t enjoy a bit of it on our side of the pond. As part of the show, the artist […]
