Digital art and artificial intelligence: a new era of creativity
Digital art has moved far beyond its early status as a specialised practice used mainly by designers, illustrators and experimental creators. It now occupies a central place in contemporary visual culture and shapes the way images are produced, shared and understood across society. Its influence can be seen in advertising campaigns, films, fashion collections, books, architecture, video games and social media. What was once viewed as a technical niche has become a major creative force, changing not only artistic tools but also the meaning of artistic production itself.

I have attended another performance at the beautiful Tbilisi Opera and Ballet State Theater. I didn't take a picture before the performance started, but this one was taken during the break between the acts. Gives you an idea of how beautiful and grand the theater is as well.

The Eternal Duel — Baroque vs. Renaissance
ROME — In the hushed silence of San Luigi dei Francesi church, tourists still jostle for position before three canvases that changed Western art forever. They come seeking the *Calling of Saint Matthew*, the masterpiece that Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio completed between 1599 and 1600. What they find is not the ethereal spirituality of the High Renaissance, but something far more disturbing: a divine intervention that looks disturbingly like a shakedown in a backroom gambling den.

From the 8th to the 14th centuries, Muslim artisans and scholars transformed glassmaking into a sophisticated and highly influential craft that would shape industries across Europe and beyond.

The Front Seat
I found myself waking up in the front seat of the bus. My eyes were filled with the early morning darkness. I had been asleep, but I wasn’t sure for how long. I tried to wake up my body, but my head felt heavy, as though I had been sleeping for an eternity, although I couldn’t pinpoint how much time had passed.

This story has been sitting in my drafts for a long time because I didn't have good pictures for it. Murphy's law: I went to the performance with my phone discharged. But then I found the entire performance on YouTube and am now delightfully happy to share it with you.
