And before we get back to all new episodes we've got another great look back at a favorite with the great actor Jeffrey Wright.

Jeffrey Wright (@JFreeWright) has played Martin Luther King Jr. and Colin Powell. He's played artists and scientists. And he's everyone's favorite Host, Bernard Lowe. He's won a Golden Globe, an Emmy, a Tony. And he's a driven supporter of causes ranging from veterans with mental health injuries to miners in Sierra Leone.  It's a look back at one of the greats.

Ian and Jeff travel back to the vibrant art scene of early-80s New York City with a look at two related but very different films, Make Me Famous and Basquiat!The former is Brian Vincent's 2021 documentary about obscure expressionist portraitist Edward Brezinski, who lived in a crumbling 3rd Street slum; he spent his days painting and his nights hitting up gallery openings trying to drum up interest in his work (as well as scrounging for food and drink). He orbited the likes of Keith Haring and Jean-Michel Basquiat, but never caught on to the "It" factor that carried many of his contemporaries to super-stardom and wealth.Julian Schnabel's 1996 drama, Basquiat, stars Jeffrey Wright as the titular, troubled painter of graffiti and challenging art pieces. The disjointed film chronicles his ascent to fame as a protege of Andy Warhol (David Bowie), and his descent into a drug-fueled early demise at the age of 27.As alums of Chicago's American Academy of Art, your enthusiastic hosts dive right into what makes both films essential viewing--despite flaws both minor and nigh insurmountable. Ian and Jeff talk about their affinity for films about artists; the thematic threads that weave through two works that differ in form but unite in defining a vivid time, place, and people; and lament the commoditization of creativity presaged in both Basquiat and Brezinski's stories.Support Kicking the Seat on Patreon, subscribe to us on YouTube, and follow us at:XLetterboxdInstagramFacebookBlueSkyShow LinksWatch the Make Me Famous (2021) trailer.Watch the Basquiat (1996) trailer.Follow all things Make Me Famous at the film's official website.Order the new 4K UHD of Basquiat from The Criterion Collection.And read Roger Durling's essay about the controversial restoration here.Keep up with Jeff York's criticism and caricatures at The Establishing Shot and Pipeline Artists.

Oh boy fuckbuddies, this one is a sausagefest! Two queer femmes walk into a Pittsburgh greasy spoon… and immediately find themselves in the middle of a flirtatious restaurant encounter, the halls of a haunted hot dog king, and the Warhol Museum's most wonderfully weird exhibits. Roll through the Hot Dog Country of Jersey with Jen + Lillian, waxing rhapsodic over being clocked as femmes, retro butch cruising, and Pittsburgh potties. Plus: cutting class to get YOCCO'D, ditz camp, and the tale of the Worst Lobster Ever Painted by Warhol and Basquiat.It's equal parts queer joy, hot dog rapture, and forever-weird Pennsylvania (served with a side of mustard relish).

En este episodio, Mario Mengoni nos invita a un viaje en primera clase sin pagar pasaje. Abrimos la noche con IMAA y su energía disco funk moderna, seguimos con el groove profundo de HIFI SEAN feat. PARIS GREY, y nos encontramos con la poesía urbana de THE BLOW MONKEYS y la frescura soulful de FABICH, JAFUNK, PASTEL & BAMBIE. La historia central nos transporta a la Nueva York de los 80 para descubrir a KEITH HARING, el chico de las tizas blancas que revolucionó el arte callejero, se hizo amigo de MADONNA, GRACE JONES, ANDY WARHOL y BASQUIAT, y conectó su arte con la música y la moda de toda una generación. Su relato se mezcla con el tema WALKING ON THIN ICE de YOKO ONO, con guitarras de JOHN LENNON, para reflejar el vértigo y la urgencia de aquella época. El “discollage”, con Diego Hidalgo en la mezcla, llega cargado de beats selectos con BASSENTIAL, MANNIX y MARCUS BRODOWSKI, cerrando la pista con puro house elegante. El final de la noche nos despide con un himno inclusivo: DAVE LEE & SHAWN CRISTOPHER – People Of All Nationz, recordándonos que la música une generaciones y no conoce fronteras.

“All we have is what we leave behind.” Michael Dargie reconnects with Ian Harrison—artist, futurist, founder of SneakAR—for a freewheeling conversation about authenticity, immersive fashion, and making impact one step at a time. This episode is sponsored by my new book BRANDJITSU, helping you find, shape, and share your story with the world. Ian shares the origin story of SneakAR, a tech-driven footwear brand that combines AR/XR with custom design to deliver truly interactive experiences. Think: 3D visuals, videos, games, and even backstage passes triggered by pointing your phone (or glasses) at a pair of shoes. He breaks down how it works, what it's for, and why it's not just about flexing—it's about connecting. We also go deep on growing up in 90s Austin, being raised by a healer and an artist, building creative ecosystems, and why what we leave behind is what matters most. From graffiti to futurism, from hip-hop to blockchain, Ian's path has been anything but ordinary. This one's for the rebels building what doesn't exist yet—and doing it with heart. Quotable Quotes “All we have is what we leave behind.” “If pain is unavoidable, suffer for something that moves you.” “Your algorithm is your people.” “Be a rebel. Break shit. Fix it. Try again.” “Journey telling is the new storytelling.” Episode Highlights SneakAR Origins | From concept to immersive footwear tech Minimum Enjoyable Product | Why joy beats viability Live Custom Drops | Swag, design, and culture at conferences AR & XR Integration | What your shoes can actually do Web3 Vision | Frictionless access, tokenized authenticity Austin Roots | Skateboarding, hip hop, and South by Southwest Family Influence | Raised by a social worker and an artist Comfort Food | No pineapple on pizza, poutine is fine Basquiat to Stevie | His artist and music influences Future Dreams | AGI personas, graffiti restaurants, beach life Advice for Rebels | Explore.

When we first aired this episode about red chip art a few months back, it captured a cultural and art market phenomenon hiding in plain sight. My colleague Annie Armstrong mapped out a world of Cybertrucks, crypto wallets, and Alec Monopoly openings—a bro-filled art scene where KAWS, MSCHF, and Daniel Arsham are the mainstays, and where spectacle often outpaces substance. Then Adrien Brody had an art show. This summer, at Eden Gallery in New York, the Oscar-winning actor unveiled his solo exhibition "Made in America," including a body of work that dives headfirst into the visual language of red-chip art. The show includes mixed-media paintings with portraits of Marilyn Monroe, and there are also Basquiat-inspired crowns, rats, and images of Mickey Mouse. There's even a participatory element that involves audience members sticking their used chewing gum on the gallery wall. Brody's maximalist, pop-culture salad seems tailor-made for virality, sure—but reactions in the art world have been quite mixed. Some see Brody's exhibition as a genuine creative endeavor; but others view it as a high-profile example of what happens when celebrity, commerce, and art collide in an already hype-driven market. Some don't mind the celebrity aspect but think it is just bad painting. Either way, what's certain is that Brody isn't just dabbling in this so-called red chip art world sphere—he's fully committed and he is now the new face of it— in all of its chrome-coated, algorithm-charmed aesthetic. In honor of the buzz surrounding "Made in America," we're re-airing our episode on red chip art. In it, I spoke to Annie about the phenomenon, exploring how social media, speculation, and celebrity culture are reshaping a corner of the art world that often defies traditional critical frameworks. Whether you see it as democratizing or dystopian, red chip art is impossible to ignore.

Jean-Michel Basquiat's graffiti in Lower Manhattan was mistaken for a CIA operation. He was the toast of the New York art world while sleeping on floors in squalid apartments. He sold his first painting to Blondie's Debbie Harry for $200. Less than a year later, his paintings were going for more than $20,000. And decades later, the debate over what is and what is not a real Basquiat rages on. This episode contains themes that may be disturbing to some listeners, including a depiction of police brutality. This episode was originally published on April 25, 2024. Basquiat excelled at both visual art and music. What other musicians excelled in a second skill, art form, or sport?

Send us a textIn dieser Folge werfen wir einen pointierten Blick auf den internationalen Kunstmarkt im Mai 2025: Von der spektakulären Frieze New York mit Jeff Koons' tuba-verziertem Hulk über die zurückhaltende Stimmung bei den Auktionen von Christie's, Sotheby's und Phillips bis hin zur Art Austria in Wien – der siebten Messe in Österreich seit Jahresbeginn.Was bedeutet das für Sammler:innen, Galerien und Künstler:innen?Warum Basquiat (wieder einmal) als sicherer Wert gilt, wieso die Werke von Kiki Kogelnik und Ilana Savdie Rekorde brechen – das und mehr in einer kompakten, kenntnisreichen Analyse.

On August 12, 1988, Jean-Michel Basquiat—the visionary painter whose explosive talent redefined the possibilities of contemporary art—died of a heroin overdose in his New York City studio at the age of 27. Basquiat's meteoric rise from a graffiti tagger in the Lower East Side to a global art-world phenomenon was nothing short of revolutionary. Widely hailed as the greatest contemporary artist of his generation, Basquiat's canvases pulsed with urgency, intellect, and emotion—breaking down barriers of race, class, and tradition in the art establishment. His untimely death cemented his legend, leaving behind a body of work that continues to challenge, inspire, and command reverence, a lasting reminder of genius gone far too soon.

A Manifesto for the Creators Who Code, Craft, and Conjure the FutureIn a world where keyboards replace canvases and platforms are the new punk, tech entrepreneurs have emerged as the artists of our time.In this electrifying, manifesto-driven episode, Roy Sharples reimagines the startup founder not as a disruptor—but as a cultural visionary. From code as poetry to platforms as protests, this lyrical reflection explores how the next wave of innovation is shaped by creativity, ethics, and soul.What if startups were symphonies?Can product design be a form of protest?What's the true legacy of a tech founder: IPO or impact?From Steve Jobs to Basquiat with bandwidth, Roy delivers a poetic provocation for the creators of tomorrow—urging them to build with conscience, design with intention, and launch like artists.This is a rallying cry for the rebels with product roadmaps, for the dreamers with data, for the builders who still believe in beauty.Support the showAttitude.

From Jan 2024. Dive into the provocative world of artistic "theft" as Ty and Nathan explore how creative innovation truly emerges from our influences. This conversation challenges the myth of pure originality, arguing instead that the greatest artists throughout history have been masterful collectors and transformers of ideas.Beginning with Japanese fashion designer Yohji Yamamoto's transformative quote—"Start copying what you love... at the end of the copy you will find yourself"—the duo examines how creative development flourishes through strategic borrowing. From Quentin Tarantino's open acknowledgment of film references to David Bowie's musical influences, the most distinctive voices often emerge from those who've absorbed the most diverse inspirations.They unpack wisdom from creative legends including Jim Jarmusch, Paul Schrader, and Jean-Luc Godard, who all emphasize that true originality lies not in where you take ideas from, but where you take them to. Art movements throughout history—from Impressionism to Abstract Expressionism—evolved through artists stealing ideas from each other while working side by side, proving that innovation rarely emerges in isolation.What distinguishes mere imitation from transformative theft? When does copying become finding your voice? The conversation offers practical advice for artists at every stage: diversify your influences, document what moves you and why, maintain an "omnivorous" approach to inspiration, and create systems to capture ideas when they strike. Ultimately, the episode makes a compelling case that the most authentic artistic expression comes not from avoiding influence, but from embracing it wholeheartedly.Follow us on Instagram @ty_nathan_clark and @nathanturborg to continue exploring how creative influences shape artistic development.Send us a message - we would love to hear from you!Make sure to follow us on Instagram here:@justmakeartpodcast @tynathanclark @nathanterborg

durée : 00:59:01 - Toute une vie - par : Elodie Maillot - Dans les années 80, Jean-Michel Basquiat a dynamité l'univers hype et underground de l'Art. Il été le premier à incarner la transition du street art vers les galeries chics de Manhattan. Dans un New York en pleine recomposition, ses proches racontent cet ami mort trop jeune, à seulement 27 ans. - réalisation : Gaël Gillon - invités : Marie-Sophie Carron de La Carrière Conservatrice en chef du partimoine au département mode et textile du Musée des Arts décoratifs.; Edward Nahem Galeriste new-yorkais; Jerry Lauren Co-fondateur de la marque Ralph Lauren et collectionneur; Lysa Cooper Styliste américaine; Lee Quinones Street-artiste, peintre américain; Lee Jaffe Peintre et photographe; Toxic Street-artiste américain; Némo Artiste et graphiste de rues; Stephen Torton Acteur, artiste américain, ancien assistant de Basquiat; Al Diaz Artiste new-yorkais, co-auteur de SAMO; Hervé Di Rosa Artiste et président du M.I.A.M

In this episode, host Lucas Farrell chats with Sherelle Speed, also known as The Art Doll, a St. Louis-based surrealist painter. Sherelle's artistic journey began in 2015 following a traumatic experience that led her to create an alternative reality through her art. A self-taught artist, she draws inspiration from renowned painters like Basquiat and Picasso, incorporating their bold strokes and vibrant color palettes into her own unique style.Known for her signature faceless portraits set against skeleton flower backgrounds, The Art Doll's work invites viewers to see themselves in the art, while leaving space for the painting's personality to shine through. Sherelle has been featured in over 100 showcases, festivals, and galleries, and dreams of seeing her artwork in stores and movies.

With THE MAN NOBODY KILLED: Life, Death, and Art In Michael Stewart's New York (Celadon Books), author Elon Green brings us an investigation into a terrible episode of police brutality and its aftermath in mid-'80s NYC. We talk about what drew him to the story of Michael Stewart, a 25-year-old black artist-model-DJ who died at the hands of transit police in 1983, his amazement that no one else had written this book, and how his early assumptions about a coverup gave way to a different coverup. We get into how he so wonderfully evokes the gritty NYC of that era, spreading out a canvas that takes in the arts scene — think Haring, Basquiat, Madonna — and the awful crimes and police behavior — think Bumpurs, Goetz — of that era. We discuss the art of interviewing people 40+ years after an event without reopening old wounds, the judge on the case who talked with him for 3 hours and shared how his conclusions on the verdict changed, what he sees in Stewart's art, how he tries to build the entire environment of the world he's writing about in his books, why he considers himself a history writer (& despises the "true crime" label & genre), why being a good journalist means having a sense of decency, bringing his first book to life as an HBO series, and more.

Artists know how much of a grind it is to be an artist. So when we see artists exploring and evolving like today's guest Shanneil Clarke we can appreciate the amount of effort that goes into it. Shanneil is out in these art streets, doing shows and building an audience with paintings featuring his unique Black figures. We talk about the essence of his style, the neck pieces, the gold, etc. and the inspiration behind his work. Shanneil talks about his Jamaican roots, how he vibes with collectors and the collab project he did recently with your boy, JBarber. Great incite into a young artist you can get follow on his journey. Right here on the Noize! Listen, subscribe, and share!Episode 198 topics include:grinding in the art streetssymbolism of hairbreaking down Shanneil's style: neck pieces, gold, backgroundslife experiences living in Jamaicainfluence of Black cartoon characters in Shanneil's artcollaborative prints with JBarberexploring materialsconnecting with collectorsShanneil Clarke artist statement:Art has always been my ultimate form of self-expression, a passion that has fueled me throughout my life. Born in Montego Bay, Jamaica, I spent my youth there before migrating to Pennsylvania in 2000. It was in the vibrant artistic environment of Philadelphia that I found inspiration in street art and historical murals. My art journey began during my time at Springfield High School, where I explored multiple mediums and discovered the joy of creating through various projects. After a brief hiatus, I rediscovered my love for art in 2008, particularly using oil-based medium, which reignited my creative energy. Each body of my work draws inspiration from both history and everyday experiences, crafted to evoke subjective interpretations in the viewer. I firmly believe that art is universal and shaped by each individual's life journey. As an introspective figurative artist, I incorporate natural motifs and floral fabric patterns to express communication and determination in the figures' pursuit of a better life. Each stroke of paint exudes boldness, confidence, and strength, aiming to inspire those who encounter my art. I draw inspiration from a multitude of artists, including Dali, Kevin Williams, Charly Palmer, David Hockney, Basquiat, and Amy Sherald, while also embracing techniques from different eras, like gold leaf and textures. Since moving to Atlanta, Georgia, in 2018, I have become actively engaged in the local art community, showcasing my work in various galleries, such as Mint Gallery and Future Dead Artist Gallery. Notably, in 2022, I was featured in an Exhibition sponsored by Amazon Prime during Art Basel Miami. My ultimate goal is to touch hearts and minds with my art, leaving a lasting positive impression on fellow art enthusiasts and inspiring others to express their own passion and creativity.

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for February 12, 2025 is: hagiography • hag-ee-AH-gruh-fee • noun Hagiography is biography that idealizes or idolizes a person and their life. // The book gives a good idea of his virtues without resorting to hagiography. See the entry > Examples: "The sisters' show can sometimes feel like hagiography; there is little discussion of Basquiat's demons or the aspects of his home life that may have been difficult." — Robin Pogrebin, The New York Times, 9 Apr. 2022 Did you know? The second part of hagiography is familiar: the combining form -graphy, which comes from the Greek verb graphein, meaning "to write," is found in biography and calligraphy (among many others) too. Hagio-, however, is more unusual; it comes from a Greek word that meant "holy, sacred" in Ancient Greek and more recently "saintly," by way of the term Hagiographa, another name for the Ketuvim, the third part of the Jewish Scriptures. English's hagiography can refer to biography of actual saints, but it is more typically applied to biography that treats ordinary human subjects as if they were saints.

Check then out on SHOPAssociation.orgLouisa Whitmore is a TikTok creator phenom whose content is about architecture. With almost 400 thousand followers her no holds-barred, straight from the heart and to the point commentary about the buildings she loves and loves to hate, brings a user experience point of view and accessible critique into the mainstream.We'll get to all of that in a moment but first though, a few thoughts…                  *                                  *                                  *The great thing about doing this podcast is it gives me an opportunity to rethink some of the assertions that have held to be true and cross check whether in fact they are immutable or whether there is room for challenging myself and maybe digging into some subtleties and nuances… and seeing things a different way.Like for example the idea of criticism – who does it and its value…I have to admit I haven't been particularly fond of the idea of critics for a very long time. This would be generally true of the kind who dole out the negative kind of commentary.Years ago when commenting on something, I think it was some art piece, and my son said to me “…dad why is it that you never really say you hate anything…”which I sort of thought was kind of funny then. I think I responded “…well because I don't really hate anything… I try to always view things from the other side - a different point of view. I try to get beyond the visceral reaction and look to design principles and comment from a place of applying principles to the work and see how they line up…and then make a comment that is based yes on whether I simply like it, the colors, shapes, energy, feeling , may be a message it is trying to impart AND  whether I can see the value in it based on principles determined to be generally accepted by experts in the domain…” so yeah I don't really hate things…If I apply the idea of casting judgement on art, music, architecture… it got me thinking… again…What is the value of judgement? Is it to determine the appropriateness of something to a particular context or challenge?I have my favorite architects and artists and musical performers, I like different styles and periods. But I don't listen to heavy metal (though my sons love it). I don't know that I can say that I hate it. Perhaps I just don't understand it and maybe if I did, it still wouldn't jibe with me.It just doesn't go in my body well. It's a sensory mismatch.I don't hate it – It makes me agitated. So, I just don't listen to it. And I guess you could say the same thing for certain genres of art.For example… I'm not particularly crazy about a lot of contemporary art.I have a hard time understanding a performance artist dipping her hair in paint and swinging aloft from a rope while her hair drags across a canvas and the painting while on lookers wrapped in dimly lit light bulbs stand slightly by  selling for millions of dollars… it isn't something I quite get. And I know that authorized replicas of the Marcel Duchamp sculpture called the “Fountain” - which is a urinal - sell for somewhere between 3 and $4 million each and here's the kicker... apparently because the original has been lost the financial the value of the original piece is unknown and might be considered as being priceless. I don't know… it sort of leaves me just trying too hard... knowing I'm falling profoundly short of ascending to the intellectualized rarefied air that somehow makes this sort of thing makes sense. And I also suspect that if I'm voicing these concerns or questions that I am likely to get a lot of people commenting that my remarks point out my ignorance, that I just don't understand and I would …well…agree with them.I'm ok with that. Really.And I think I'm not alone in this category of not understanding contemporary art and the extraordinary prices that contemporary art paintings fetch at auctions and then again maybe if I did, I still wouldn't spend $25 million on a Rothko painting.The thing about critics, I think, is that we entrust these individuals with being in the know, of having deep insight, knowledge or experience into the making of the art. That these are people who understand its value and relevancy to culture and somehow able to unfold the deep meaning in the work whatever format the creativity comes in and to bestow upon us their opinion as if it is fact.The challenge of course is that I think there may be an ignorance in the public and that the deeper inner meaning of things is somehow held in reserve for the creators of the work or select few who follow it.But I've always had a challenge with the idea that the critic seems to have the extraordinary power to completely destroy the creative work as well as raise it to high levels of adulation and praise.I think that in some ways we have come to trust to the critic as certainly knowing more than we do and therefore what they say about a particular piece of art or architecture should be taken as truth and the presumed value of the creation lies in whether their commentary is positive or negative.How many people have not gone to see a movie because it only got 2 stars… and who said it should only have two stars?Maybe I would have found the comedy hilarious… but not the critic.I often don't even check reviews by the masses on restaurant or hotel booking sites and if I do read the reviews, I do it very carefully. I look to see what it was that these people did or didn't like. What it was that made their experience a must see or a definite red tomato. Personally, I dig to see if there is anything at a lower level that suggests what was driving the positive or negative review? What it was in this message that this particular critic is trying to convey?I've often thought that to be able to criticize art or other forms of creative invention you'd have to understand what it was the maker was intending to convey.You'd have to understand the basic ideas, for example, of composition to be able to determine whether a Jackson Pollock or a Kandinsky or a Basquiat was worth all the fuss and on what basis you were making the comments about the work.I guess it's not all critics that I have a problem with but maybe more those who simply present negative opinions. And it's not like I should even care that critic X didn't like thing Y. It was their opinion. Okay so they have an opinion. The challenge is the uninformed may come to accept the opinion as fact and turn away from somethings simply because some one says its not good.I guess the role of the professional critic is to study and assess the value of a creative work and pass judgment on the product based on facts and logical assertions. This is kind of like knowing a bit about composition before offering an opinion the write something off.It seems to me that the idea of a critic is to connect ideas, arrive at reasonable conclusions and perhaps open avenues for discussing new directions and fostering an awareness of ideas and cultural trends.It also seems to me that the role of the critic is to challenge our general assumptions about things to get us to look more deeply at our assertions and to get us to not simply accept things at face value but to continue to search for excellence, challenge the status quo, in all of the things that we bring into the world so that we don't fill it with the mundane or banal.There's something about the critic as ‘educator' - increasing our collective level of understanding of things, pointing out where things might likely be improved and offering positive commentary on what might be a series of next steps in order to develop the output and make it better - that I align with.And I know that the idea of making it ‘better' is full of all manner of subtext and necessity to consider contextual considerations… ‘better' for whom, for what and why?And maybe this is where I mostly land on the idea of the value of the critique is that of using constructive criticism for the value of enhancing people's understanding of a particular subject or giving the creator tools to go back to the drawing board, so to speak, and make it better.Jazz master saxophonist David Liebman wrote a concise piece on his website called “The Critic Dilemma: Criticism vs. Review”. He describes many of the same ideas about who's making he comments, are they objective facts or subjective opinions, and why should we trust one critic's opinion over another? Liebman differentiates between critique and a review:“…When the writer's opinion and taste is the focal point, this constitutes a critique. On the other hand, a review should be the dissemination of information with the desired intention being elucidation. The idea is that with this information, the listener is equipped to form his own opinion…”.And this is where this episode's guest Louisa Whitmore begins to fit into the story.When Louisa was 16 years old she began to share architecture commentary on Tik Tok. She blew up the social media sphere with posts that were personal and occasionally pointed. She came at her critiques of buildings not from the expert or architectural practioner point of view but from that of the user, the general public mindset.She didn't profess to be a building expert, to have deep knowledge in construction but rather to simply be part of the general public who experienced the built environment every day but who had little to nothing to do with how buildings got there in the first place.Her negative commentary on 432 Park Avenue - the luxury condo building designed by Rafael Viñoly and SLCE Architects – lit up the digisphere with 100s of thousands of followers lining up behind her to voice their impressions of this building. Most of them not very good I might add. Which was actually ok since there was a ton of press – not particularly good I might add – about problems with the building. Now, Louisa didn't know about these issues about the engineering, the building swaying (which would be natural by the way) and other problems but felt vindicated nevertheless with the press that effectively substantiated her intuitive feelings about this super-tall condo on the Central Park's edge.I see her posts more like David Leibman's construct of the ‘Review' – “…that with this information, the listener is equipped to form his own opinion…”.And opinions her followers had. 1000's of them.In the spirit of “…the dissemination of information with the desired intention being elucidation…” Whitmore turned her attention to projects thatfocused on Biophilia and how buildings with ample integration of plants seemed to simply feel better. Her noteriaty on Tik Tok, articulate whit, intuition and ability to articulate the ‘person on the street's' perception of the built environment, landed her the role as host of “the cable television documentary series “The Nature of Design”.Over the course of a number of episodes Whitmore tours properties talking about biophilic principles and with the support of a variety of experts ranging from architects to neuroscientists she dives into the science of how buildings with a biophilic approach effect our well-being…Whitmore is called a teenage architecture critic. While her rise on social media platforms may have been based on the building she loved to hate, it seems that she is using her notoriety to review and elucidate…. ABOUT DAVID KEPRON:LinkedIn Profile: linkedin.com/in/david-kepron-9a1582bWebsites:  https://www.davidkepron.com    (personal website)vmsd.com/taxonomy/term/8645  (Blog)Email: david.kepron@NXTLVLexperiencedesign.comTwitter: DavidKepronPersonal Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/davidkepron/NXTLVL Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nxtlvl_experience_design/Bio:David Kepron is a multifaceted creative professional with a deep curiosity to understand ‘why', ‘what's now' and ‘what's next'.

Last month, I challenged 11,000 people to classify fifty pictures as either human art or AI-generated images. I originally planned five human and five AI pictures in each of four styles: Renaissance, 19th Century, Abstract/Modern, and Digital, for a total of forty. After receiving many exceptionally good submissions from local AI artists, I fudged a little and made it fifty. The final set included paintings by Domenichino, Gauguin, Basquiat, and others, plus a host of digital artists and AI hobbyists. One of these two pretty hillsides is by one of history's greatest artists. The other is soulless AI slop. Can you tell which is which? If you want to try the test yourself before seeing the answers, go here. The form doesn't grade you, so before you press "submit" you should check your answers against this key. Last chance to take the test before seeing the results, which are: https://www.astralcodexten.com/p/how-did-you-do-on-the-ai-art-turing

With his new graphic novel, NAKED CITY (Dark Horse Books), artist/activist Eric Drooker finishes the New York trilogy begun in Flood! and Blood Song. We talk about how Naked City started with the image of a beleaguered squeegee-man and wound up a love letter to New York and especially Tompkins Square Park, the challenges of using word/thought balloons and captions after making wordless comics for so long, and the importance of staying handmade in the digital era. We get into his upbringing in Stuy Town and the Lower East Side/Loisaida, why we were recording in an apartment above the Museum of Reclaimed Urban Space, how New York changed during his life, why he semi sorta escaped from the city, what it's like being a quality-of-life criminal, and the time he made his start with stencil-graffiti only to get over-tagged by Basquiat. We also discuss his artistic & political awakenings, the Tompkins Square Park riot and police militarization, his ambivalence about street art going into the gallery, the importance of on-the-ground activism (MOAR STREET POSTERS), the surveillance panopticon, and more.

Wright is up for an Oscar for best actor this year for the film American Fiction, where he plays a novelist who's frustrated with the publishing industry's expectations of Black authors. He cynically writes a book under a pseudonym that's full of clichés, like drug abuse, violence, and poverty — and it's a hit. Wright's first starring role was in the 1996 film Basquiat. He talks with us about his big break in the play Angels in America, and the time early in his career when he was acting opposite Sidney Poitier and asked for advice on acting.Learn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy
