Digital Decadence: The Art of Falling Apart at SuperRare Offline
The whole concept revolves around this brilliant inversion: we build machines that are designed to never pause, to run endlessly, reliably, unfeelingly. But humans? We fall apart. And maybe, that’s our defining feature. The ability to break is part of what makes us who we are. And, as this show suggests, it’s also what makes us artists. When everything else is stripped away; when skill becomes automated, when the body breaks down, when the markets crash, what remains is the human will. The impulse to make meaning. To create. To dream something up and try again. To rebuild.
The 21st-Century Museum: Evolving for the Digital Age
As we approach the second quarter of the 21st century, museums are no longer just places where art and culture are preserved and displayed — they are adapting, evolving, and actively shaping the way we experience art.

Today, they are embracing AI, VR, blockchain, and interactive digital tools to stay relevant and engage modern audiences.

Christo and Jeanne-Claude: The Gates and Unrealized Projects for New York City
Yesterday, I had the chance to experience an exhibition that perfectly brings together art, history, and technology, and it was such a treat. It’s called Christo and Jeanne-Claude: The Gates and Unrealized Projects for New York City, and it’s currently running at The Shed. The show marks 20 years since The Gates transformed Central Park in 2005, filling it with 7,503 vibrant saffron gates. The exhibition brings that momentous project back to life, but with a twist — it includes an incredible augmented reality (AR) component, along with a mobile app to make the experience even more engaging.

The Second Guess: Body Anxiety in the Age of AI
Growing up as a girl at the age of internet has come with its own set of challenges — comparison, judgment, and an ever-present awareness of our bodies in ways that often felt unhealthy.

The Second-Guess: Body Anxiety in the Age of AI, revisits these themes and sheds light on issues that remain stigmatized yet deeply relevant.
