In a dynamic fusion of fashion and urban lifestyle, Akio Hasegawa (), the renowned curator and forerunner of Japanโ€™s โ€œCity Boyโ€ fashion trend, has introduced his latest collection in Hong Kong.

The collection, a collaboration with Japanese label IS-NESS, encapsulates the City Boy aesthetics, a concept that has significantly influenced Japanese fashion in the past decade. Presented by Open Dialogue, the collection made its debut at .werkstatt , through a unique pop-up exhibit running from September 27 to October 10.

Hasegawa, currently with .jp, and founder of the lifestyle platform .houyhnhnm, personally curated the lookbook against the iconic vistas of Hong Kong, including the Star Ferry and Avenue of Stars.

The collection, lauded as a brilliant interpretation of the 'City Boy'โ€”an urban dweller navigating the city's hustleโ€”has left a notable imprint in the city. Visitors can purchase from the collection, as well as immerse themselves in the blown-up lookbook visuals lining the walls, capturing the spirit of the City Boy in his everyday milieu.

In her new exhibition, "Traces of Love and Timeless Adventure," Chinese artist Ziping Wang () offers a vibrant commentary on our digital age. The canvases are a cacophony of unrelated visuals โ€” nostalgic snack packages, classical Chinese figures, and geometric patterns โ€” deliberately crafted to confound, overwhelm, and encapsulate the sensory overload characteristic of our times.

Without naming any specific digital platforms, Wang's art deftly communicates the claustrophobic nature of the "attention economy," the landscape where information excess diminishes our capacity to concentrate. The artwork, peppered with logos and product designs from popular brands, mirrors the relentless barrage of advertisements, notifications, and ever-refreshing feeds we navigate daily.

Hosted by at , the exhibition marks Wang's first solo appearance in Hong Kong. It showcases a medley of oil paintings, ink drawings, and Wang's first stainless steel sculpture, underscoring the artist's versatile talent and multicultural identity.

has unveiled a spectacular helmet for the upcoming Japanese Grand Prix at the Suzuka Circuit. Designed in collaboration with the critically acclaimed , the helmet breaks new ground with a light-up visor โ€” a feature that is as unusual as it is impressive.

This special edition helmet follows the 2020 rule change that lifted restrictions on helmet designs, sparking a surge of unique pieces on the track. Hamilton's Japanese GP helmet, with its fluorescent strip allowing illumination, certainly stands out in this new era of helmet design.

Whether you find Hamilton's latest helmet design strikingly brilliant or garishly over the top is a matter of personal taste. But one thing is undeniable: under the lights of a night race or the flash of a photographer's lens, this helmet is bound to make a statement.

Studio Ghibli's whimsical character, the Catbus from My Neighbor Totoro, will soon leap from the silver screen to the streets of Japan's recently launched Ghibli Park.

Enter the APM Neko Bus, an electric low-speed vehicle inspired by Catbus, expected to make its official debut on March 11 next year. The project is a vision brought to life using a Toyota APM (Accessible People Mover) electric trolley, originally designed for the Tokyo 2020 Summer Olympics. Transformed with a fresh exterior, this vehicle is now set to ferry park-goers around, albeit without the fur of its animated counterpart.

The project, which has been in discussions for several months, is underpinned by a joint commitment from Studio Ghibli, Toyota, MONET Technologies, Toyoei Kotsu, and Aichi Prefecture to bring the enchanting Catbus to life.

As the curtain falls on the final day of "The Descendants" โ€” an exhibition presented by at โ€” we take a moment to appreciate the impactful dialogue it has created.

This collection, curated by Melanie Lum, Micki Meng, and , brings together the work of 23 international artists. Their pieces offer a rich tapestry of global perspectives, each exploring themes such as diaspora, race, and gender, and reflecting the diverse identities of our world today.

Through a blend of portraiture and landscape, the artists delve into their unique heritages, some challenging the concept of heritage itself. Diasporic artists presented a poignant reflection on their relationship with their cultural origins, the generational pain inherited, and the stereotypes they strive to dismantle.

In what seemed like a parody, and revealed a joint venture โ€” the "Cyber Spoon" โ€” that even caught CEO Elon Musk off guard.

This utensil, inspired by Tesla's Cybertruck and intended for enjoying treats like the McFlurry, was at first dismissed by Musk as "fake news."

However, as chatter amplified on Tesla's official Weibo account and McDonald's Chinese social media channels, Musk had to accept the reality of the $4 spoon.

Upon seeing a tweet verifying the Cyber Spoon's authenticity, he even expressed interest in securing one of the 50,000 limited-edition items.

Five previously unseen computer drawings by the renowned artist Keith Haring are soon to be auctioned as NFTs at . The online auction, titled "Keith Haring: Pixel Pioneer," is set to take place from September 12 through September 20.

These unique pieces, created in the 1980s using an Amiga personal computer, were gifted to Haring by Timothy Leary, a psychedelic pioneer and software developer. Although Haring initially expressed reservations about technology, he embraced digital tools as the decade progressed. The Amiga served as his canvas for these works, illustrating his distinctive, vibrant visual language in pixelated fluorescent hues.

The NFTs mark a pivotal moment in the digital art realm, as they were created at the dawn of the consumer computer age. As Gil Vazquez, Executive Director and President of the Keith Haring Foundation, pointed out, Haring recognized early on that computers would play a significant role in human lives and could be an effective medium for expressing art. He believed in the power of digital tools to communicate ideas and saw the advent of digital art as inevitable.

's "Apple, Jobs, and Computer Hardware" sale, which concluded on August 24, was a veritable treasure trove of vintage tech memorabilia. The standout item was a handwritten Apple-1 advertisement draft by Steve Jobs, which sold for a staggering $175,759, far exceeding its anticipated value.

Pre-dating 1976, the draft corresponds to the original Apple-1 ad from the July 1976 edition of Interface Magazine. The lot also included two vintage Polaroid images of an assembled Apple-1 computer board, actively running an Apple Basic program.

The auction also showcased an array of other significant Apple artifacts. Among them was an Apple Computer prototype mouse from 1984, a 1976 Apple Computer โ€œNo.2โ€ check autographed by both Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak, a fully functioning Apple-1 Computer bearing Steve Wozniak's signature, and an original Apple II, its serial number handwritten and also signed by Wozniak.

Remarkably, these items were sourced from a close acquaintance of Steve Jobs, who was present during Apple-1's formative stages. Held as sentimental keepsakes, they serve as a tangible testament to the infancy of a company that would later redefine the technology landscape.

's NFT project "The Monument Game" has raked in a substantial total of 1,271.57 ETH (~$2.09m).

With its auction ended on August 24, the unique 1/1 painting 'IX. The Monument Game' (image [2-3]) achieved a winning bid of 420.69 ETH (~$694,441), marking the highest auction record for NFT minting platform manifold.xyz in 2023.

Simultaneously, all 256 editions of 'Player' (image [1]), each priced at 3.33 ETH, were rapidly sold out since its launch on August 21, contributing an additional 851.88 ETH (~$1.41m) to the overall total.

Launched on August 21, 'The Monument Game' is a pioneering experiment by Sam Spratt that synergizes digital art and interactive storytelling. It includes the most intricate artwork Spratt has ever created, 'IX. The Monument Game,' which was auctioned as a one-of-a-kind painting. An interactive interface built around this artwork, termed "The Game," allows collectors to explore, observe, and compete.

The project also introduced 'Player,' Spratt's first-ever editioned artwork. Limited to 256 editions, it serves as a ticket for collectors to participate in the game, leaving their observations on the painting. The Council of Luci, an exclusive group of Spratt's collectors, will then deliberate and select the three most observant players.

Now, starting August 25, the Council is reviewing the observations, with finalists to be announced on August 28, and a final vote scheduled for August 30.

The top three most observant players, as determined by the Council's final votes to be tabulated and announced on August 31, will be awarded a coveted opportunity: the chance to join the Council of Luci, signified by one of the three remaining Skulls of Luci.

Stepping into the retro-renaissance, is rekindling the gaming glory days with its remastered Atari 2600+.

Slated for launch on November 17, this reduced-scale model of the classic console, retailing at $129.99, is brimming with an array of features. These include HDMI and USB-C ports, compatibility with original 2600 and later 7800 game cartridges, and support for the original joystick and paddle controllers.

Embracing its roots, the Atari 2600+ boasts a wood-paneled strip and luminous Atari logo, flanked by classic toggle switches. The back hosts modern ports alongside two original-style serial ports. Powering this nostalgic trip is a Rockchip 3128 SoC, ensuring vintage Atari games can be enjoyed with the included 10-in-1 game cartridge.

Atari's 2021 Atari VCS release marked its first dip into the nostalgia-ware pool. Meanwhile, the Atari 2600+, with its competitive price and extensive game compatibility, seems primed for a bigger splash in this burgeoning market.
