Welcome to SCENE: Where Tech Meets Fashion, Art, and Entertainment

What can we speak about once we speak about tradition and know-how? 

I believe plenty of us have a tendency to speak concerning the tradition of know-how—concerning the few thousand folks (myself included) who actually care about these things, who dwell and breathe it. The events they go to, the artwork tasks they’re creating, the feuds that devour them. 

However there’s a complete world of tradition on the market. And that world—bursting with artwork and music, teeming with celebrities and politicians, guided by the good style homes and Hollywood {and professional} sports activities alike—is altering lots sooner than you may notice. We’re residing by an unprecedented second within the historical past of know-how, and mass tradition is shifting underneath our ft.

Blockchain tech may change the way in which we take into consideration workforce possession in skilled sports activities leagues just like the NBA; it’s additionally changing into a wedge subject for the posh style conglomerates that personal the likes of Louis Vuitton, Gucci, and Versace. AI is ripping aside the essential settlement that’s stored Hollywood functioning for a century.

Subsequent month, I’m touring to attempt on a neurotech cap that may supposedly make you crave a exercise regardless of the time of day. Pray for our collective destiny if Peloton nabs a patent. 

These are the tales I need to inform—and the type I don’t suppose but have a devoted residence: tales about know-how within the service of tradition. We constructed SCENE to be that residence. And I’m so excited you’re right here.
