"I think of The Bay Lights as a way of making invisible systems visible. The bridge is already full of rhythm, traffic, weather, motion, time and the light responds to that complexity through abstraction. It's not about decoration. It's about revealing the pulse of its location."

Las Vegas is by very definition and mission statement an immersive experience. It wants all of you—your eyes, your ears, your stomach, your imagination and, of course, your wallet. It offers up giant resorts with so many amenities and attractions that, really once immersed inside one of these complexes, you never really need to leave for the entire length of your stay.

Firefighters responded after several fireworks were shot from the bridge by an unidentified group of people, lighting up the sky and showering the asphalt with sparks as people got up close to take video and pictures. The Instagram-popular bridge has been the site of takeovers and taggers, arch climbers and copper-wire thieves since it was completed in July of 2022. Someone got a haircut as cars whizzed past.

SmallRig's origin story remains grounded in practical workflows. The company, unlike any traditional manufacturer mapping out product categories in advance, entered the ecosystem almost reactively, responding to specific modification requests from filmmakers who encounter difficulties in finding solutions elsewhere. Over time, that reactive posture transformed into structure. Today, SmallRig speaks openly about its "Shadow R&D" network, a community of more than 15,000 vetted creators who co-develop, test, refine, and sometimes originate product concepts.

The installation debuts Monday, January 12, 2026, featuring rotating digital artworks projected nightly onto a 95-foot-high section of the building's facade from sundown to 10 pm. The launch coincides with the start of JPM Week, when tens of thousands of people are expected downtown for the J.P. Morgan Healthcare Conference and related events. The illuminated facade faces both Market Street and Yerba Buena Lane, transforming a previously blank wall of the 1908 Beaux-Arts building into a permanent canvas for public art.

Buy enough of the devices it's presently working on and you'll exist in an environment of "ambient care," coddled by the machinery in your home. It sounds positively utopian: When the sensors in your bed know you've not slept well and are getting a cold, a robot will wake you with a glass of freshly squeezed orange juice. When you're in a rush to get to work, the robot will make you a sandwich for you to eat on the go,

The Napa Lighted Art Festival is a celebration of creative arts, technology and lights, and supports innovative techniques using light and light technologies as a growing art medium.

But at the end of this month, there's a brand new festival arriving to inject some colour into the financial district.

Created by Guildhall Production Studio, it brings together more than a dozen artworks and live performances by emerging artists from Guildhall School of Music & Drama.

Literally a piece of e-waste in waiting, Lollipop Stars are suckers with an integrated battery and tiny speaker that, when placed in one's mouth, transmit sound through jaw vibrations, delivering what the brand calls "music you can taste." The device is non-rechargeable, gets about 60 minutes of battery life, plays a single song, and once the sucker is gone, it's garbage.
