Two years after Hurricane Maria devastated large swaths of Puerto Rico, Lin-Manuel Miranda and Google Arts & Culture have teamed up to share some of the island's art with the rest of the world.

They're joining forces to promote a new project allowing anyone around the world to zoom into 48 digitized pieces of art from Puerto Rican artists. The preservation effort is made possible with Google Arts & Culture's "Art Camera" technology, which allows for a close-up, digital examination of paintings.

The artwork for this collection comes from Puerto Rican art institutions, including Instituto de Cultura Puertorriqueña (ICP), Museo de Arte de Puerto Rico, Museo de Arte de Ponce, and Museo de Arte Contemporáneo de Puerto Rico. People can also visit the museums in person to view curated exhibits and learn more about the collections on display in the digital project.  Read more...

Firstly, the nonprofit Burning Man organization, known affectionately to insiders as the Borg, posted it after 5 p.m. PT Friday. That, even in the COVID-19 era, is the traditional time to push out news when you don't want much media attention. 
      But secondly, you may have missed its cancellation because the Borg is being careful not to use the C-word. The announcement was neutrally titled "The Burning Man Multiverse in 2020." Even as it offers refunds to early ticket buyers, considers layoffs and other belt-tightening measures, and can't even commit to a physical event in 2021, the Borg is making lemonade by focusing on an online-only version of Black Rock City this coming August.    Read more...
