Step into Turbine Hall in London's Tate Modern and you are immediately greeted by the sound of pounding rain and a giant spider looming over rows of cage-like dormitory beds. It's all part of “TH.2058” Dominique Gonzalez-Foerster’s new interactive installation, an apocalyptic vision set 50 years in the future. In this world, all that's left for humans to do is read, watch movies, and wait for civilization to end. More » -

We nabbed a few moments with Takashi Murakami and found out about his influences, his impressions of the show, and how his brain works when he's creating something. Check out our interview down below. More » -
