We're staying away from all mirrors, ladders, and black cats until 9pm—we don't want to jinx anything!

Analisa Teachworth is an artist who pushes her existence through self-made experiments. She's currently working on a piece where telepathy is practiced to interact with house plants. In her controlled study, the air plant she had been communicating with at one point had stretched its limbs to give her a hug. That's just an example of one test in her series of studies which she calls Cognitive Synergy. Time to get hyper in touch with our surroundings! -Maggie Lee
Though the Spinto Band is not playing our showcases in Austin, we wish they were after watching their kind of amazing take on SXSW. So true: we would NEVER say any of these things.

The Sydney Opera House has pulled a hip trifecta by securing Michael Cera, Kieran Culkin and Emily Barclay for the play This Is Our Youth. That alone is enough to get me to the box office. It's about coming-of-age in New York in the 1980s. See you in the stalls. - Nadia

Last Saturday, we were excited to help The Hole NYC throw a pretty rad party to celebrate Art Contemporary Los Angeles. The party featured a performance by Kreayshawn and Young Hawaii Slim, and an art installation by New Image Art. There were also a few skate ramps, lots of dancing, and an airbrushed Alf T-shirt. Thanks to everyone involved—we had a great time! Check out more photos on Art from Behind.
