Nexus Interactive Arts collaborated with The New Yorker and the illustrator Christoph Neimann, on The New Yorker's annual Innovators Issue, with an augmented-reality (AR) experience triggered by the front and back covers of the print edition — a first for the magazine — and various advertising elements throughout the issue.

The covers, designed by Christoph Niemann, bring a bustling subway car and city skyline to life. Niemann, a longtime New Yorker contributor, collaborated with Françoise Mouly, The New Yorker’s art editor, on the project.

Christoph worked closely with the Interactive Arts team to design and animate the 3D city and integrate the necessary technology to deliver a really rewarding AR experience.

With the May issue of the New Yorker and the app 'Uncovr', you can experience an augmented-reality experience that transforms the printed page into an interactive event that readers can explore. Niemann has embedded hidden surprises within the cityscape that are discoverable by moving and tilting one’s device.

Job Wouters—better known as Letman—is a practitioner of the lost art of psychedelic and delirious penmanship, a letterer who’s precisely honed technique hides behind a world of unbridled alphabetic experimentation. Creating wildly unique work that nods to the past but transcends vernacular nostalgia, Wouters operates between illustration, graffiti, painting, and graphic design. The Amsterdam-based designer has worked for clients such as the New York Times Magazine, Audi, Tommy Hilfiger, Heineken, and Duvel, creating editorial illustrations, fabric prints, posters, typefaces, site-specific murals, and even body-paint designs. He is the recipient of numerous design awards and his first monograph was released by Gestalten publishing in 2012. He was recently commissioned by the Walker to create a mural. Wouters will perform his hand-lettering technique live during the Insights lecture.

In The World Without Us, author Alan Weisman offers a glimpse into an Earth that has, for whatever reason, been quickly abandoned by humans. It isn't long before nature takes over buildings and city environments--subway corridors are returned to underground streams, homes collapse, and roads cave in as the soils underneath erode.

But before our manmade structures start to erode and decay, there will be only emptiness. In this film, dubbed the Hypocentre Project, we can see what Paris would look like completely devoid of people.

Instead of trying to film the city at odd hours when people weren't around, video creators Claire and Max painstakingly removed all the people, cars, and other remnants of humanity from their images. The result is both creepy and apocalyptic--a visual look at the city environment without us.

Turns out our collective Internet psychology has a lot of disturbing ideas about what women are.
