How Maya Man Reframes Beauty and Control in ‘twentynine’ Magazine
twentynine magazine, created by artist Maya Man (@mayaontheinternet) and designer Isabelle Lalonde (@BeepyBella), reimagines the glossy world of fashion editorials and advertising through the lens of AI. The publication, supported by Lenovo and Intel’s Make Space initiative, transforms familiar magazine tropes into surreal reflections on femininity, media illusions and the performance of self. At its core, the project questions how we construct and consume beauty while pushing the boundaries of digital art.For Man, whose work often examines identity in online spaces, the project was a chance to interrogate how fashion magazines and advertising shapes self-image. “Generative AI models, given how they are trained, are essentially a warped mirror of what already exists in the world,” she expl...

Jean Dawson: An Interlude
Jean Dawson is typically in the studio every day from 7 p.m. through 7 a.m., so an 8 a.m. call time fell right in the middle of his REM sleep. “Waking up today kicked my ass, but it was great.

He split his time between San Diego and Mexico, having to wake up before sunrise to walk to the bus to the U.S. border, where he and his younger brother Jerome would then wait in line for hours to cross into the States, where they went to school. This was the protocol for four years up until Dawson was in middle school; he’s always valued sleeping in after that. He tells me it's a marker of success.It’s similar to why the musician values hot showers so much. He ...
