FUJIFILM INSTAX MINI EVO CINEMA CAMERA

Posted on 2025-12-29

The mini Evo Cinema’s standout feature is the “Eras Dial,” a creative control hub that lets users cycle through 10 era-specific filters. From the grainy 8mm aesthetic of the 1960s to the saturated CRT textures of the 1970s, each effect is paired with processed audio — including the nostalgic whir of film reels — to create a multi-sensory “time travel” experience. With 10 adjustable levels for each effect, the camera offers 100 possible creative expressions, all controllable via tactile dials that deliver a satisfying analog click.

Structurally, the camera is a love letter to Fujifilm’s heritage. The black-and-gray body adopts a vertical grip design inspired by the 1965 FUJICA Single-8, complete with a “Print Lever” that mimics the sensation of winding manual film. Beyond its standalone capabilities, the device functions as a smartphone printer and 3-in-1 creative tool. A dedicated app allows for cinematic editing, including the addition of movie-style opening and ending templates, ensuring that every “drop” is as polished as a theatrical release.

ALPHATHETA X SERATO

Posted on 2025-12-22

Designed to control Serato’s music production software, Serato Studio, SLAB bridges the gap between screen-based, digital beat-making and the tactile feel of hardware production, putting sampling, sequencing, FX control and more at your fingertips. The console is powered by a dedicated processor tuned for low-latency playback, allowing users to run Serato’s instrument packs and sample libraries without needing anything but a laptop. Serato is also launching a set of SLAB-optimized sound packs to accompany the release. And it does so while remaining incredibly portable, featuring a form factor that doesn’t break 12-inches at its largest point (it measures 11.19 x 8.23 x 1.76 inches and weighs just 2.2 pounds).

At the center of the device is a 7-inch multi-touch OLED display that lets users handle sequencing, sampling, waveform editing and mixing. Existing Serato users should find the interface familiar (it’s lifted directly from Serato Studio’s and adapted for hands-on control), but even those new to Serato – whether coming from other ecosystems or entirely new to production – should find using SLAB to be straightforward thanks to its minimal, clean design and color-coded workspace.

MARK RYDEN – THE MEAT MAGI

Posted on 2025-12-08

Mark Ryden is a prominent contemporary artist known for his unique and captivating style that blends elements of pop culture with surreal and often dark imagery. His work, frequently referred to as “Pop Surrealism” or sometimes “lowbrow art,” typically features characters that evoke a sense of childhood nostalgia mixed with a slightly unsettling, melancholic atmosphere.
Ryden’s artistic universe is populated by a recurring cast of characters: wide-eyed girls with pale skin, historical figures like Abraham Lincoln (often depicted in unusual contexts), bees, meat, and various adorable-yet-creepy stuffed animals. These elements are meticulously rendered with a technique that recalls classical painting styles, giving his modern, bizarre subjects a timeless quality.
