The Art of Leaving Things Unfinished
Manage episode 485462478 series 3611336
Before we get into this week’s stories, a quick note: This will be the last edition of The Intersect for a while. I’m taking a step back for a summer break, with plans to return in mid-July or early August. I hope these next few weeks offer all of us a little more space to look up, look around, and recharge away from screens.
In this edition, you’ll find reflections on music’s disappearing act in the streaming age, digital distractions in travel, and the thin line between empathy and art when it comes to AI. There’s also a look at minimalist design choices, “ghost” furniture, and the connections between ancient Egyptian art and our galaxy. Museums are opening doors again, and the future of architecture takes the stage at the Biennale. Even as the newsletter takes a break, I hope these stories continue to prompt questions about what we value when art and technology cross paths.
