Immerse yourself in a website. Since the early 2000s, artist Rafaël Rozendaal has been using the internet as his canvas, painting it with vibrant, moving artworks powered by generative algorithms. These animations start as sketches on paper, which are then translated into code and made into websites that run in real time. In a new installation, Rozendaal brings these websites to a massive 25-foot display, to make digital art feel one with the physical world around us. 🌐 Read an interview with the artist on #MoMAMagazine → mo.ma/4gvWQiH

We’re excited to announce MoMA’s new Adobe Creative Resident, Samora Pinderhughes! Samora Pinderhughes is a multidisciplinary artist and director of The Healing Project. Pinderhughes uses sound, performance, film, and social practice to address structural violence and foster collective healing. During the Adobe Creative Residency at MoMA, he is creating sonic healing rooms in collaboration with NYC communities to support grief, healing, and participatory action, envisioning a world centered on care rather than punishment. This initiative seeks to support equity, learning, and creativity by providing vital resources for an artist to work with Museum experts and an artist mentor on a community-based project.

“The Sculpture Garden is Central Park, and around it is a city with buildings of various functions and purpose. MoMA is a microcosm of Manhattan.” —Yoshio Taniguchi We are saddened by the passing of Yoshio Taniguchi, the architect who designed MoMA’s 2004 expansion. Taniguchi saw the Museum as a reflection of the city, and modeled it after Manhattan itself. His approach to design—elegant, minimalist, and deeply thoughtful—transformed MoMA and continues to shape the Museum today. “For Yoshio, a successful building was one where the architecture disappeared…. He believed deeply that only when your mind and body were at ease could you ‘feel’ a work of art and its emotive power.” —Glenn D.

Data can be deeply personal: a lens to slow down, be curious, and reconnect with the world around us. In a new free online course, designer Giorgia Lupi shows us how she tracks life’s small moments, like checking the time or daily habits, and turns this information into art. In Lupi’s own work, she transforms numbers into shapes, colors, and stories that uncover how paying attention can spark connection, understanding, and even healing. Art can nurture well-being by helping us notice what’s happening inside and around us. Hear from experts, artists, and educators like Giorgia in Artful Practices for Well-Being, our new free course on Coursera, to explore how art can serve as inspiration for ideas, practices, and activities that you can carry into your daily life.

🎨 New Year’s resolution: I will not make any more boring art. Start the year inspired by five artists whose creative habits and philosophies offer fresh perspectives for the months ahead: ✨ In his mantra, John Baldessari challenges us to set bold, creative intentions for the year ahead—with a sense of humor. ✨ On Kawara shows how consistency and care can transform the ordinary into something extraordinary. ✨ By saving every scrap of packaging for a year, George Maciunas encourages us to rethink what we discard and find creative potential in the overlooked. ✨ In Julie Mehretu’s sweeping lines and layered textures, we see how the maps of our past and future can converge to shape a unique vision for the year ahead. ✨ Through his striking sculptures and installations, Thomas Schütte reminds us to take risks in our art that challenge both the artist and the viewer. — [1] John Baldessari. “I Will Not Make Any More Boring Art.” 1971.

How does cinema reflect our complex relationship with time? In “The Clock,” artist Christian Marclay masterfully weaves thousands of film and TV clips depicting clocks and other references to time. From missed alarms to midnight escapades, each clip is synchronized to the exact minute in real time. Moments of the day unfold minute by minute as iconic moments from film history are remixed into a functioning timepiece. The piece explores the profound tension between our aspirations, emotions, and the rigid structure of time. ⏰ See “The Clock,” on view now at MoMA. ⏰ Dive into the historical, emotional, and cinematic layers of this piece with writer Jonathan Crary on #MoMAMagazine → mo.ma/3BpK4D7

Art ages, just like we do! In an effort to restore artist Henri Matisse’s “The Swimming Pool,” MoMA’s Conservation team spent 2,000 hours to bring this artwork back to life: from removing strands of burlap one-by-one to cleaning the paper to rid it of build up. 🌊 After five years on view, see “The Swimming Pool” in its final months before this light-sensitive work is deinstalled for multiple years. — [1] Henri Matisse. “The Swimming Pool” Nice-Cimiez, Hôtel Régina, late summer 1952.
