After 144 years of construction, Barcelona’s Sagrada Familia is finally complete. The iconic basilica, designed by architect Antoni Gaudí and considered one of the most ambitious architectural projects in modern history, was shaped by Gaudí for 43 years before his death exactly 100 years ago, when he was struck by a tram while the church was still far from finished.

In the final years of his life, Gaudí lived on the construction site and devoted himself almost entirely to the project. At the time of his death, only about 10% to 15% of the basilica had been completed, leaving future generations with the monumental task of carrying out his vision. A century later, that vision has finally become reality.

Last chance! Experience "Up, Up and Away", on view through this Monday, June 1. The activation features Warhol creations that show the depth and range of his talents and interests during what he referred to as his “retirement” from painting in the mid-1960s: https://t.co/QQGv4SQmxe

I’ve been lucky enough to be part of many cool projects, but collaborating with @okgo on these new #okgoSandbox projects is easily one of the coolest!

Hello Mars, goodbye Mars 👋

NASA’s #MissionToPsyche spacecraft was speeding by the Red Planet on May 15 when it snapped this rare, crescent view of Mars. The successful flyby flung the Psyche spacecraft toward its final destination: the metal-rich asteroid Psyche. 1/2

Excited to share with you Adobe where I work full time partners with Google DeepMind 🎉

Adobe for creativity is coming to Google Gemini. Soon, hundreds of millions of users will be able to simply describe what they want to create, and Adobe's pro-grade tools across imaging, design, and video will handle the orchestration behind the scenes, all directly in Gemini.

What a time to be alive

Fun fact about ‘Country Road in Provence by Night’ 👀 It could have been a realistic landscape, but it isn’t.

Van Gogh first sketched the composition in a letter to Theo, then painted it from memory, combining elements into something imagined. Painted just before leaving Saint-Rémy, it might be his personal ‘summary’ of Provence.

[Internet Archive @internetarchive]

🎉 To mark the 30th anniversary of the @InternetArchive on May 10, we’re opening the yearbook to revisit the Class of 1996; the sites & organizations that helped shape the early web.

Before feeds, before algorithms, before we assumed everything online would last forever, this was the era that set it all in motion: Yahoo! Quake, Hotmail, The Onion and the archivists preserving it all.

Join us in the coming days as we celebrate THE CLASS OF '96 🎓

Today we remember Keith Haring on what would've been his 68th birthday.

The Pop artist was born on this day in 1958 in Reading, Pennsylvania. He was a friend of Warhol’s and his work was shown alongside Warhol’s in various exhibitions.
