Dear friends, we are very excited to unveil more of our Glacier Dreams project during Art Basel.

We will project our datasets and simulations onto the facade of Theater Basel. Commissioned by Julius Baer and curated by Hans Ulrich Obrist, Glacier Dreams is our studio’s groundbreaking new AI research project inspired by the beauty and fragility of the world’s glaciers.

“Netflix and other streamers are retreating from any sort of creative risk in favor of humdrum, lowest-common-denominator shows. And now the "disrupted" film and television industry is starting to look the same as what it was trying to disrupt.”

"Milestones" was an achievement for Miles Davis and the jazz world. It was an excellent example of how the addition of one player can turn up the heat exponentially. The small band, hard bop interplay was released on this day in 1958. Listen here: https://t.co/206Njf1TKf
