| 4/25/21 | Art after pandemic | With some areas of the world appearing to be turning the corner on Covid-19, we explore whether the pandemic has fundamentally changed art, the new creative impulses and business incentives it may have precipitated, and what kind of films and photographs we expect to see coming out of this bizarre period in human history.

| 12/8/20 | What is the future of storytelling? | We're a mere blip in history. Many of the artistic mediums that are dominant now weren't as little as a hundred years ago, and with technology progressing so fast, they'll likely change again on a much shorter timeframe. Here we attempt to take stock of photography, cinema and other forms of storytelling at this moment in time, assess the outlook for them, and think about where the world of art/storytelling/whatever-you-want-to-call-it may be headed.
