This editorial is about opulence and obsession with the image that we want to give to others in the context of a consumerist and hierarchical society. Sometimes we are prisoners of a system in which success is mixed with material goods/possessions. Socially, a person who strives to earn money and live luxuriously is more rewarded than a person who invests the same effort in non-profitable activities such as mental health or emotional well-being.

Vince Hart won the first Winsor & Newton UK Oil Residency in partnership with Royal Institute of Oil Painters and Cass Art in 2020.

Working largely in oils, Vince employs many different mediums to achieve desired colours and effects, like showing every brushstroke in detail. To encourage young and emerging artists in oil, residency applications were open to artists that had graduated within the last five years in the UK and the residency itself included sole use of a large studio, materials, and mentoring. Impacted by pandemic lockdowns, but not deterred, Vince spent five weeks exploring his practice last year at

Wave XR CEO Adam Arrigo: Live Music’s Future Is Hybrid

By Jaime E. Love 2 days ago

As the pandemic shut down, cancelled and delayed events people had been looking forward to, Wave co-founder and CEO Adam Arrigo saw an opportunity.

Instead, the company worked on something that he characterizes as a “metaphor for a live performance.” Arrigo, a game designer and a musician, realized the music industry needed a tech boost to help keep artists connected with their fans during the pandemic.

Wave provided artists the ability to perform
