New Art, New Institutions

Every so often, the buildings finally catch up to the ideas. That's the moment we're in right now, and it's the subject of the new Art & Tech, our quarterly digest built as a small act of slow reading against the attention economy. This edition is called "The New Institutions," and the list turned out longer than we expected: NODE in Palo Alto, Dataland tucked into a Frank Gehry building in downtown LA, the Schwarzman Centre at Oxford, an expanding LACMA and New Museum, Canyon and Powerhouse Parramatta on the way, and a new festival, Creative Intelligence, landing in London this September.

What connects all of them isn't the architecture. It's a shared belief that digital art needs somewhere to actually happen, not just somewhere to hang. NODE's founder Micky Malka says it plainly in an interview inside: the lighting, the pacing, the way people move through a room — that's all part of the artwork now, not just the frame around it. Anna Ridler makes a quieter version of the same point, describing attention itself as a form of care.

It's a full issue, tracing a line from a 1985 show at the Pompidou all the way to that Gehry building, by way of our new Forum and Index. Worth setting aside some time for.

Index

Articles from the Right Click Save archive on working with AI, and why it really matters to have a decentralized art world

On July 1, 2026, Right Click Save launched its Index — a knowledge bank drawn from across the magazine’s editorial coverage. It shows how people, artworks, events, organizations, and ideas connect in our archive of more than 430 articles.

Rather than a comprehensive biography or dictionary definition, each page surfaces the salient elements from our ecosystem. Readers can access the Index from the navigation bar of the website, through the Search window, and from in-article “cards” that link to Index entries, or direct to articles in the Magazine archive.

In the new edition of our Art & Tech quarterly, released today, we focus on finding articles from the Right Click Save archive, related to the quarterly’s content, on working with AI, and why a decentralized art world matters.
