Turning AI into art

Jenny Sabin is an American architect, educator, and researcher whose work centers on design and emerging technologies, and bridges the gap between science, art and architecture. Her latest project is called Ada, an astonishing AI-driven structure designed in honor of one of the first computer programmers, Ada Lovelace. It is made of fabric digitally knit with photoluminescent yarn, 895 3D printed nodes, 1,274 fiberglass rods, and weighs about 1,800 pounds. Ada is currently on view at Microsoft's corporate headquarters in Redmond, Washington.

Jenny was awarded the prestigious Architectural League Prize in 2014. Her work has been exhibited internationally including at the FRAC Centre, Cooper Hewitt Design Triennial, and as part of Imprimer Le Monde at the Pompidou.

The Adorable Sculptures of Yen Yen Lo

These images are from a series of wall sculptures created by Yen Yen Lo . Here you can see her intricately textured ceramic pieces, looking downright adorable. Yen Yen Lo's eye for the unique and whimsical is delightful. Apparently they are not intended for kids under 16. Fifteen-year-olds cannot be trusted with fragile stuff. Get them a Funko Pop instead.

When the Agave is Fine, But the Decanter is Finer

I rarely drink tequila, but this limited-edition Reposado from Gran Agave makes my brain scream: "I must own this thing!" I'm buying it not because of the balanced flavor and aroma, smooth texture, or even purity—but because I really like the ceramic ghost-shaped decanter. Once it's empty, I'll just refill it with something cheaper, just to keep the Halloween spirit alive.

Weirdly Charming

If you’re a fan of art that makes you do a double-take, you need to check out Richard Brener . Based in the UK, Richard is an internationally collected artist who works primarily with ink, fineliners, and gouache. When you first see his pieces, they actually look pretty playful. Then you realize the entire canvas is packed with thousands of tiny, ghost-like shapes he calls "champs." They’re all squeezed together like commuters on a rush-hour train, and the level of detail is honestly mind-blowing. Richard spends hundreds of hours drawing these little guys over and over. It’s obsessive, very intentional, and a little bit wild. The cool part is that the longer you stare, the more the vibe shifts. Check out more photos below:
