Numero Cromatico and glo Make Art From Algorithms for Milan Design Week
Art and algorithms are two words that don’t often exist in the same sentence as art traditionally comes to life with a human touch while algorithms are born on digital platforms. This year at Milan Design Week, however, Numero Cromatico brought the mediums closer together. In partnership with glo, the creative collective revealed a new art installation at Palazzo Moscova that responded to the design fair’s 2026 theme, Be the Project through art, psychology and technology. Aligning with its past visual works – which question modern constructs in society – the respective installation, titled Y.O.U Your Own Universe, harnessed AI to generate phrases which were layered and projected across the walls of the courtyard in a wraparound digital landscape. An integral part of the installation is aud...

MARKA27 Champions the Immigrant Hustle with Neo-Indigenous Art
From the concrete walls of East Dallas to the prestigious halls of contemporary art, Victor “marka27” Quiñonez has spent decades proving that the streets are a sacred archive. For Quiñonez, graffiti and skateboarding were vital survival mechanisms and an escape from an environment imbued with mass incarceration, violence and immigration enforcement. He was raised in a resilient community where neighbors looked out for one another during sudden deportations and street vendors offered free tamales to families struggling to get by. That upbringing instilled an unshakeable ethos into his practice. Those lived experiences serve as the spiritual bedrock of his current work, transforming grit and neighborhood solidarity into monumental, public expressions.What sets Quiñonez apart is his ability t...

The Lexus ES 350e Features Rolls-Royce Luxury at 1/10th of the Price
In the car industry, there are certain standards that brands have set and maintain due to the price applied to their vehicles. Lexus, however, seems to be breaking the mold with its new ES sedan, and some very unexpected luxury elements in it for a fraction of the cost.Lexus invited us to San Diego to experience the new ES models, across the 350e, 350h and 500e trims. Appearance-wise, the sedan achieves a sharp exterior profile matched by a minimalist, tech-focused cabin; an approach we appreciate for not completely standing out on the roads but more so within the sphere of "IYKYK" between discerning consumers. We also are in the camp of sedans > SUVs, and so far we're seeing more and more companies bringing back sedans, so it was refreshing to see the ES return for its eighth iteration...
