Artifacts, Avatars, and Auditory Adventures: Dispatches from the Infinite Beyond

Issue No. 6 - Welcome to Issue No. 6 of "The Event Horizon," where we're strumming the six strings of spectacular storytelling, each resonating with its unique tune in the symphony of the senses. In the mystical world of numerology, six is the harmony hunter, the seeker of balance in the melody of life, blending diverse notes into a soulful chord that echoes through the corridors of creativity. Picture each story as a string on an ethereal guitar, vibrating with the potential to unleash an epic riff that dances between reality and reverie. This issue is like a jam session where every strum tells a tale, every chord a chance to challenge the conventional. It's where the sixth string serenades the soul, inviting you into a universe where imagination plucks at the heartstrings of possibility, and every narrative is an ode to the extraordinary. So tune in, turn up the volume, and let's create a harmony that resonates beyond the ordinary, proving that the magic of six is not just in the numbers, but in the narratives they inspire.

Part 1: Pushing the Limits

Our "Pushing the Limits" section is a tribute to those rebellious creators and tech trailblazers who take the "art" in "state-of-the-art" quite literally, crafting experiences that blur the line between this world and the next. This week we celebrate the alchemists of imagination who transform blank spaces into multisensory realms, like Refik Anadol's AI-crafted nature at Serpentine, Riyadh's sculptures that make granite dance, and the digital art venues that are outshining traditional museums by transforming the art experience into a communal digital spectacle. But first stop on our travels is a full on gender trip...

Gender Journeying

Developed by solo creator Cameron Kostopoulos, "Body of Mine" isn't just your average VR trip, it's a walk in someone else's shoes... or rather, their entire being. This VR experience catapults you into a world where you can switch genders faster than a chameleon changes colors, all while diving into the profound seas of gender's gloomier waters. Racking up awards -- including the Producers Guild of America Innovation Award, the SXSW Special Jury Award, and Games for Change's XR for Change Award -- and the runaway hit at the XR section of the Fondazione La Biennale di Venezia, this isn't just a tech-savvy fashion show, it's a profound journey into gender dysphoria, combining the latest in VR with real-life stories, making empathy more accessible than a 24-hour 7-Eleven. It's like being given the keys to a secret room of human experience, allowing both genderqueer and cisgender individuals to understand each other's worlds in a space safer than a pillow fort.

Anadol's Serpentine Spectacle

Ever watched a nature documentary directed by a supercomputer? In Refik Anadol's latest exhibition at Serpentine, "Echoes of the Earth," AI takes a crack at mimicking Mother Nature, transforming coral reefs and rainforests into a digital psychedelic wonderland. Once again showcasing his unique ability to blend natural beauty with cutting-edge technology, Anadol's exhibition looks to be an awe-inspiring fusion that not only captivates the eyes but also sparks a conversation about the relationship between our digital and natural worlds.

Where Sculptures Dance and Rocks Find Rhythm

Riyadh's Tuwaiq Sculpture 2024 is carving out a niche in the art world by literally carving dimensions of movement into local granite, which clearly isn't just for countertops anymore. This symposium isn't just about art. It's about turning Riyadh into a "gallery without walls," which is great news for anyone who's ever felt claustrophobic in a museum. With sculptures ranging from eternal loops to martial dances, this symposium has more awesome in it than sand in a desert. Designboom (4 minutes)

Joysticks in the Jardin

The worlds of theater and exhibitions are getting a level-up from video games. Felix Barrett, Punchdrunk's immersive maestro (and a new papa), and Marie Foulston, a curator who's more into pixels than paintbrushes, reveal how theatre shows and gallery exhibits are stealthily borrowing tricks from the gaming playbook, like a pickpocket at a Renaissance fair. Both are part of growing set of creators and curators pioneering a fusion of live performances and gallery spaces with gaming strategies, turning every theatre-goer and museum visitor into an unwitting player in an unscripted game. It's like finding Easter eggs in a Shakespeare play, where galleries and theaters are morphing into real-life video game levels – joystick not included. Games Industry (8 minutes)

Inner Waves Turns You into a Human Instrument

Artur Weber, a man who seemingly doesn't believe in artistic boundaries, has decided to make a splash at Noor Riyadh's Light Festival with "Inner Waves," a piece that's basically a high-concept shower karaoke session. This installation not only lets you experience the joy of touching water and making sounds (a real win for anyone missing their childhood puddle-splashing days), but also, in a sci-fi twist, the water in your body harmonizes with the installation, making you part of the art. It's like discovering your inner mermaid, but with less singing sea creatures and more introspective synesthesia, proving once again that artists will use any excuse to get you wet.

Love in the Time of Algorithms

In what might be the most "Black Mirror" episode come to life, Spanish-Dutch artist alicia framis is about to say "I do" to an AI hologram named AILex, which is basically the digital amalgamation of her past loves. Who needs Tinder when you can code your ideal partner? The wedding, which doubles as a performance art piece, is set to take place at a museum in Rotterdam, promising a ceremony that's part futuristic ritual, part culinary experiment, with food that's as appealing to robots as it is to humans. While Framis designs her own wedding attire and ponders the logistics of marital bliss with a holographic hubby (including the practicalities of joint bank accounts and insurance, because romance in the AI era still requires fiscal responsibility), let's all take a moment to appreciate that love, like art, has no boundaries – especially when your partner is a pixelated creation.

Museums in the Age of Instagram

Digital art spaces are popping up like mushrooms after a storm, showing traditional galleries that when it comes to immersive experiences, size does matter. From es devlin's endangered species rave in Vegas to Outernet London snagging more eyeballs than the British Museum, these high-tech upstarts are teaching old art institutions new tricks—and raising the existential question of whether to join the digital dance party or watch from the sidelines. It's like U2's Bono once crooned, "It's a beautiful day," but for museums, it might just be a call to action to spruce up their act or risk playing second fiddle to a ginormous Las Vegas sphere.

NYC's New Architectural Cloud-Pokers

Have we ever mentioned our penchant for architecture? Well, in New York City, where the competition for who can reach the sky first is as fierce as the line at a sample sale, ten new skyscrapers have muscled their way into the skyline like a group of overachievers at a high school reunion. From the Brooklyn Tower, which seems to be auditioning for a role in "Lord of the Rings," to the Steinway Tower, the world's skinniest skyscraper that's looks like it is suffering from serious vertigo, these architectural marvels are stretching the city's silhouette like a pilates instructor with "The Machine" from Princess Bride. It's a vertical variety show, featuring everything from luxury condos to office spaces, proving that in the city that never sleeps, even the buildings are trying to stay up more. Dezeen (3 minutes)

Concrete Canvases

Along similar lines and angles, the Mies van der Rohe Haus Award finalists for 2024 are like a masterclass in immersive design, showing that buildings are more than just giant structures —they're the art world's biggest divas, expressing human creativity one brick at a time. From a Czech art gallery that's had more past lives than a cat, to a French convent dressed in copper like it's going to the Met Gala, each nominee is a lesson in how buildings can tell stories, hold conversations, and maybe even make a few jokes. It's like walking into a real-life version of Inception, where every structure is a dream layer, revealing more with each glance. Dezeen (4 minutes)

Serenity Now

NEOM's latest addition, Elanan, is where luxury meets a leafy oasis, offering 80 rooms of serene well-being and Instagrammable introspection. Think of it as a high-tech Zen garden, with architecture so cutting-edge it probably does yoga better than you. For those who don't know what NEOM is, its a Saudi Arabian mega-project that is like playing SimCity with an unlimited budget. It's a region, not just a city, complete with mirrored skyscrapers, floating cities, and a ski resort in the desert. Ambitious, controversial, it's got everything from sustainability goals to human rights controversies.  Neom will consist of 10 projects in all, Elanan being the sixth one announced.

Part 2: Looking for Inspo?

"Looking for Inspo" is a magical loom where unsung heroes of creativity spin the mundane into the marvelous, weave a tapestry of past and present where innovation meets nostalgia and every space becomes a stage for wonder. In a confluence of eccentric Y2K art retrospectives, neon art vacancies in downtown storefronts, and immersive digital art museums that blur the lines between physical and virtual, the art world is dancing to a rhythm that turns history into a kaleidoscope of sensory experiences and invites us into a world where past eccentricities dance with today's digital dreams.

The Era of Eccentricity and Pickled Sea Creatures

Do you, like me, often long for those simpler days of Y2K, when our biggest concern was whether our computers would throw us back to 1900, a quaint worry in a world yet untouched by the complexities of modern times? artnet takes us on a nostalgic trip back to the time when art exhibitions were as wildly unpredictable as a dial-up internet connection, the good ol' days of anime, graffiti, and yes, even a pickled shark (who knew marine life in formaldehyde was but a short-lived trend). It's a loving look back at a time when art was less about Instagram likes and more about making statements that were as bold and confusing as the era's fashion choices. artnet (8 minutes)

Glowing Vacancy

"Dream Club Lab" in San Jose is jazzing up a ghost-town storefront with a light show that's part art installation, part beacon for the lost art of window-shopping. This not-so-secret club of lights and robots, visible only from the sidewalk, turns window gazing into an art form, luring passersby like moths to a technicolor flame. And in a twist only a city planner could love, this neon spectacle doubles as a neon "for rent" sign, aiming to turn those empty spaces into something more permanent than a pop-up disco. Mercury News (6 minutes)

Screen Time Worth Having

Take a peek inside Brad Keywell's new Boston location for the WNDR Museum, where the art is so immersive, you'll forget you're actually there. This isn't your typical museum experience; it's like wandering into a Georges Seurat painting, but with a 21st-century twist. You'll virtually meander through rooms where artwork leaps off the walls and into your personal space, fiddle with exhibits that respond to your touch (even though you're not really touching them), and lose yourself in a Yayoi Kusama infinity mirror room that challenges your infinity selfie self's sense of space and time, all while comfortably avoiding the Boston chill. It is an anti-museum, of sorts, where you're encouraged to leave your mark with stickers and listen to activists on retro phones – it's like the museum is trying to outdo every hipster coffee shop in the city. Intrigued. This article spotlights several of the exhibitions in words and images.

QCirque Bows Out

In a city where “relaxation” usually means finding a seat on the subway, QC Terme spas and resorts' “QCirque of Wonders” is taking its final bow, proving that even fire dancers and stilt walkers need a break from the Big Apple's hustle. Set against a backdrop that's more Instagrammable than a hipster food truck festival, this spa extravaganza transforms Governors Island into a whimsical winter haven, complete with heated pools that are like a warm hug for your goosebumps. As the curtain falls on this Cirque-meets-spa spectacle, New Yorkers must bid adieu to their unique winter escape, where the biggest stress was ensuring their robe stayed toasty on the heated rack, and now return to their coffee-fueled commutes, holding onto memories of a winter's evening where relaxation was more than just a fleeting daydream. amny (3 minutes)

Wish You Were Here

"The Studio" is a team of designers, artists, makers, strategists, and thinkers inside NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory, led by the inimitable Dan Goods and David Delgado, who are passionate about helping scientists and engineers imagine the future, and giving people a sense of awe about the universe. Among my favorite, and most low-tech, of their works is their space-age art show "Visions of the Future", a series of posters blending 1930s nostalgia with exoplanet exploration. These WPA-style posters, inspired by vintage travel ads, invite you to cosmic destinations that are a bit harder to reach than Yosemite. These imaginary getaways to newly discovered exoplanets capture the allure of unexplored cosmic destinations with a nostalgic twist. It's space tourism meets art deco, demonstrating how even interstellar travel looks better with a retro filter. JPL (2 minutes)

Expanded Hori7ons

"Hori7ons" (sic!) is the latest digital art extravaganza going for the tech-savvy Alice in Wonderland diving headfirst into a rabbit hole of pixels and interactive installations. Brought to us by Chroma Link Collective, seven local artists, trained in both art and algorithm, are coming together in an effort to make a visual symphony that's so immersed in technology, you'd think the artworks might swipe right on you.

Sandworms and Sapphires

Timothée Chalamet, Hollywood's darling and amateur jeweler, teamed up with Cartier to create a necklace for the "Dune: Part Two" premiere, which is so bedazzled with 900 gemstones it could probably be seen from space. This isn't just any bling, it's a Dune-inspired masterpiece, featuring enough Easter eggs to make even the most devoted Swifties take a second look. The necklace's design, a tribute to Arrakis’ sandy dunes and blue-eyed Fremen (because in space, no one can hear you accessorize), flips to reveal a spiky texture on one side and sapphire-encrusted wonder on the other, proving that when it comes to high fashion on the red carpet, Chalamet is more than just a pretty face with a good wristwatch game.

An Artful Echo of War

Outernet London's VLADA exhibition turns a staggering 27,000 videos from the Ukraine conflict into an immersive art experience that's less about casual viewing and more like stepping into a whirlwind of history and resilience. Created by Nick Crowe and Ian Rawlinson, this 11-hour artistic marathon on the invasion's second anniversary is part history lesson, part tech marvel, and all heart. The piece is a crash course in empathy, unity, and the art of understanding a conflict through a mosaic of personal stories. BNN (2 minutes)

From Runway to Screenplay

LVMH has launched a new entertainment division, 22 Montaigne, aiming to bring their luxury brands from prop to protagonist. Collaborating with Superconnector Studios, they plan to produce engaging stories that resonate with their audience's lifestyle, leveraging the emotional connection with brands. Hollywood scripts meeting designer labels reflects a growing trend among luxury brands to deepen customer relationships through creative storytelling in entertainment. But are these moves more likely to result in blockbuster hits or fashion faux pas? Only time will tell if these catwalks cross successfully into the cineplex. Fast Company (5 minutes)

Dubai's Latest Artistic Mirage

In Dubai, where the creative brief simply reads: bigger and flashier, the Korean digital design road warriors at d'strict have opened the ARTE MUSEUM DUBAI for all your immersive art needs. It's like stepping into a digital wonderland where nature-themed zones multiply faster than rabbits on rohypnol, offering everything from blooming flowers to serene starfields, and even allow you to play Doctor Moreau and design your own sketched critters. And if that doesn't dazzle you enough, there is also ARTE TEA BAR, where visitors can enjoy a unique teahouse experience with sweet tea-based mocktails, infused with the individual flavor of each zone.

Desert Skies, Neon Stories

Parrtjima Australia (pronounced Par-chee-ma) and taking its name from the Arrernte word Parrtma, which means "lighting up" in two ways – both illuminating an object and shedding light on a subject – is making a luminous comeback, promising to turn Alice Springs into a neon storybook of First Nations' tales. With a focus on "Interconnectedness," the Northern Territory's spectacular light and art show is not just about flashy lights but deep cultural connections, planting seasons, and a shared love for water (and rain). So, pack your bags and your sunglasses for this ten-day, one-of-a-kind light show that's set to illuminate both the 300-million-year-old MacDonnell Ranges and your understanding of the world's oldest continuous culture.

From Proscenium to Participation

Broadway, in its latest act, is embracing immersive theater, making what was once niche now as mainstream as jazz hands in a musical. Remember when "Sleep No More" turned a Chelsea building into Macbeth's moody playground or we all fell down the rabbit hole in a Brooklyn asylum? That was just the warm-up. This season, sitting quietly in the dark is last century's theater, and being part of the act is the new black, whether its line-dancing with a holographic Imelda Marcos or sipping cocktails in faux 1930s Germany. It's like theater said, "Hey, audience, it is time that you worked for your own applause!" Playbill (8 minutes)

DJs and Daydreams

Inside the Dome at New York's INTER_ IAM, SOMNIUM is taking the concept of a dance party and somehow making it more techy and trippy – because this is what happens when people like Oksana Borodina, who have little interest in a regular old club, are given free reign to go make a "mesmerizing, hypnotic, effervescent" sound bath. Brought to you by the folks at Retrograde, SOMNIUM is essentially a spa night for your senses, complete with a DJ lineup that could probably get a statue to groove. And just when you thought you'd seen it all, there's a secret room by Disco Oculto because, as we all know, the only thing better than one dance party is a hidden second one. Get Tix

A Concert for the Neurodiverse Super Trouper

ABBA Voyage, in a heartwarming set, is now hosting a “calmer concert” for neurodiverse fans, because even dancing queens and kings need a break from the disco ball sometimes. With chill-out zones and a sensory setlist, it's like ABBA's saying, "Take a chance on us, but in a more relaxed setting." Special thanks to Katherine Usher and Chris Pike of A Relaxed Company for ensuring that everyone can say "Thank you for the music" without the usual concert chaos. Blooloop (2 minutes)

Neo-Stylistic on the Danube

There's something about the tangible, unfiltered essence of architecture that captivates us, a kind of enduring elegance in bricks and mortar that no virtual environment could ever replicate. So, now and again, we can't resist tossing in some little bit of intricate beauty and enduring strength. Here's one of those times. In a world where imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, Budapest's Parliament Building took a leaf out of London's book. Starting in 1885 and wrapping up in 1904, this architectural chameleon, masterminded by Hungary's very own Imre Steindl, nods to Westminster with a mishmash of Neo-Gothic, Neo-Baroque, and Neo-Renaissance styles.

How to Turn Plywood into Playtime

Today's DIY project is the "Artcade," an open-source arcade cabinet for the creatively inclined brought to you by our ol' pal Brent Bushnell, the Willy Wonka of fun, and the savvy minds at Strange Outfit (a Non Plus Ultra entertainment partner), all in partnership with Two Bit Circus (where I once clocked in), Dassault Systèmes and Intel Corporation. It's a mix of woodworking, electronics, and a dash of entrepreneurship – all you need is a sheet of plywood, less than $500, and a dream. Perfect for turning laundromats into mini-arcades, it's a hands-on lesson in STEM and making a few bucks, like the good old days of selling candy bars, but cooler and way more fun.

Part 3: Current Events

Think of "Current Events" as your VIP pass to the backstage of the event world, minus any special access to anything but with all the "I-wish-I-was-there" envy.

More Lightsabers, Less Siestas

The 20-year anniversary of Integrated Systems Europe (ISE) went down as the largest and most well-attended event in its history. This wasn't as much a tech showcase as it was a full-blown geekstravaganza, where you could find everything from AI replicating bee minds to a time traveling metaverse. It's like Comic-Con and CES had a baby, and that baby decided to throw a party in Barcelona with more immersive experiences than a VR rollercoaster, leaving tech enthusiasts feeling like kids in a candy store -- if the candy store was run by robots and had Ocar-award winning directors battling it out with lightsabers. designboom (4 minutes)

Where Teddy Bears Stop Being Polite, and Start Getting Real

Los Angeles, brace yourself for the cuddly terror of "Blumhouse Presents: Chauncey’s Imaginary Playhouse," where your childhood fear of teddy bears comes to life, proving that nightmares can indeed be plush. Big shout-out to our friend Jasen Smith (who has seemingly redirected his creative genius towards the noble cause of haunting our dreams and sending shivers down our spines) and his amazing team at Experiential Supply Co. for turning a perfectly innocent basement into something you'll need therapy for. No surprise this is a Lionsgate production, because it has Jenefer Brown's red-stained fingerprints all over it, presumably because after the SAW experiences she has worked out some serious volume discounts on theatrical blood. Catch this cuddly nightmare at 8175 Melrose Ave, LA, from Feb 23rd to March 2nd. It's free, because who needs to pay for nightmares, right?

NYFW 2024 Blends Runway with Wildlife

At NYFW 2024, National Geographic decided the runway needed more than just models and clothes, so they threw in some holographic bears and elephants onto the catwalk, making safari chic 2024's runaway trend in haute couture. Meanwhile, GT's Living Foods was giving the unsung heroes of fashion week, the backstage crew, some love with hand massages and collagen tea, turning makeup artists and hair stylists into the most zen people in the room. Who knew kombucha isn't just for drinking anymore? And for those feeling left out of the glamour, Primark’s pop-up in SoHo turned everyday folks into influencers, because who needs Milan when you have TikTok and a selfie station?

The Joys and Jitters of Event Production

In the electrifying yet nerve-wracking universe of live event production, a panel of industry experts -- including SXSW's Stephen Light, TED Conferences' Mina Sabet and esports superpower Electronic Arts (EA)'s Joseph Lynch -- open up about the rollercoaster of orchestrating events, where every success is a high-five and every hiccup feels like accidentally walking onstage in your underwear. It's a behind-the-scenes glimpse into an industry more challenging than playing hopscotch on a tightrope, with the need to satisfy both the in-room extroverts and the online introverts. It's like hosting a dinner party for thousands, where the guests range from tech geniuses to someone who just figured out how to unmute themselves on Zoom. SVG Play (28 minutes)

Part 5: Plus This

"Plus This" is our self-focused spotlight, where we turn the lens on ourselves, sharing tales from the frontline of our our own adventurous journey, filled with both wins and whimsies, and where it's never too surprising if a routine gathering suddenly morphs into an impromptu opera or a cosmic meet-and-greet.

Lightsabers and Lace

"The Empire Strips Back," where Star Wars meets less clothing than a Tatooine summer, has landed in Denver at NPU's Brighton venue to the probable delight of both sci-fi and burlesque fans. Imagine your favorite Star Wars characters shimmying in ways that would make even Jabba blush, complete with toe-tapping music and costumes that are, let's say, "space efficient." It's the kind of show that's been captivating audiences from Australia to Alderaan, proving that the Force is strong with this one, especially in the wardrobe department. Tickets

The Sweetest Challenge

Our spectacular partners at Palace Games, the geniuses behind possibly the best escape rooms out there, have cooked up "Lollyland," a mini-golf puzzle adventure that's more twisted than a licorice stick. Running the course in Non Plus Ultra's Palace of Fine Arts in San Francisco, here golf meets brain-teasers in a world where scoring low isn't the goal, but solving puzzles with a high-tech putter is. It's a place where mini-golf doesn't just mean dodging windmills, but dodging your own brain's limitations. Part mini golf, part escape room, all fun, think of it as a hole-in-one for the mind.

"The Initiation" is a journey into the heart of "Insight," a cult offering a twisted path to enlightenment, where true consciousness means confronting the darkest of horrors - a spine-tingling experience not all are guaranteed to survive. Get your tickets here.

A Faerie Noir Adventure

Our Old Mint venue has been transformed into a portal to the past and the peculiar with 13th Floor's “The Lost Inn: Immersive Dark Faerie Noir.” Think of it as a delightful collision between a gritty 1930s detective story and an enchanting faerie tale. It's the only place in town where where you might bump into a detective looking for a mythical item or a faerie sipping a martini. So, grab your magnifying glass and fairy dust!
