What impact could a curated playlist of music have on the way viewers perceive an art exhibition? Whether intended to provide historical or artistic context, or as an abstract statement on the cross-genre interaction between visual and aural art, music could be the key to unlocking a more visceral, multi-sensory approach to art viewing and creation. The increasing use of various digital media already hints at a radically new way of exploring museums and galleries.

Does an artist really have to suffer to make great art? This common theory has developed over time due to the sheer number of tortured artists that the music industry in particular, has to answer for. But upon closer examination, that perception can be deceiving.
In this final installment of the Culture of Comics series, we are taking a look at comic creators who transcend the comic book medium in ways which liken their works more closely to forms of what is considered, "high art."

The housing market is shrinking, and not just in an economic sense, but in the actual dimensions of homes which are being downsized to 200 square feet or less. Architectural focus has shifted from creating tiny dream homes to extremely minimal and functional designs to reflect the financial situation of millennials. Are homes truly shrinking for aesthetic, or do they match shrinking job opportunities and paychecks?

We end things by discussing the recent trend of "Made-for-Instagram" art exhibits and Google's new hardware lineup and their new flagship phone, the Pixel 2.
Netflix’s original animated-series is a staple of artistic innovation. The creative teams’ choice to depict trauma through that of an animated horse is a testament to the program’s commitment to innovative storytelling and stunning art. Season four brings perhaps the most creatively stylized animation to modern television, while also incorporating design choices into their narratives. This critique is spoiler-packed, so please proceed with caution!
Akira Rabelais - a composer/software developer/project manager(?) who exudes mystery and tongue-in-cheek-references in everything he does, makes you walk through forked paths, all inspired by one of his favorite writers, Jorge Louis Borges.
The extent to which aspects of both classic art and contemporary music took on different meanings when paired together amazed me. The withdrawn looks of the subjects became coy and knowing when I wondered what secrets they would reveal “if these walls could talk”, Haim’s defiant anthem of “baby, don’t save me” became the voice of women in French high society, and Nina Simone’s simple lament felt inspired by the Avenue de Chantilly. Where the more traditional music pairings became incidental, the contemporary pieces were in dialogue with the paintings, both resisting and conforming to the tone suggested by the music.
