Brian Cox on Tom Stoppard's sensational Rock'n'Roll: I looked through the curtain and saw Mick Jagger and Vaclav Havel'

By the time I was cast in Rock'n'Roll in 2006 I had been following Tom for years. I saw Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead when it came to London in 1967 with the wonderful Graham Crowden as the Player King. It was a big sensation. The Real Thing was a great play and Arcadia was extraordinary. Rock'n'Roll was w at the Royal Court in London by Trevor Nunn and starred Rufus Sewell as Jan, a Czech student who returns to Prague in 1968.

'I think of immersion as a state of perception': Lawrence Lek on his exhibition at the Bass Museum of Art in Miami Beach

I work intuitively, so moving between architecture, video, gaming and music has evolved organically. I've realised that my practice is really about different forms of immersion, which is a word that gets thrown around a lot. I think of immersion as a state of perception-the point at which you forget that you are fully within the medium. The performance at the Tate Tanks was about the immersion in the present moment that you get with music.

Miami Advice: Nina Surel on the historic Villa Paula and its future

Located on an unassuming block in Miami's Little Haiti neighbourhood, the once-derelict Villa Paula houses within it some of Miami's most fascinating lore. The residence was originally built in the late 19th century for Domingo Milord, the Cuban consul at the time, and his wife Paula, an opera singer.

"Endless scrolling induces a state of permanent craving in the mind, tempting it with an endless stream of new information, which, however, it is incapable of processing.
