Driven: 2026 Lucid Air Grand Touring
The 2026 Lucid Air Grand Touring is a phenomenal luxury EV that combines crazy fast acceleration, exceptional range, and a dynamic ride. It’s also one of the few electric sedans that feels genuinely engaging behind the wheel. We loved almost everything about it, though some of Lucid’s attempts to rethink controls make the Air more

Iron Man Blu-Ray
The Iron Man Blu-ray edition (avail. 9/30) packs more punch than a flame-throwing robotic suit. Our favorite extra is the Hall of Armor, which displays 3D schematics of suits and weapons.

Light Painting Music Videos
Visual artist Michał Ryszkiewicz creates animated music videos using long-exposure light painting. He traces the imagery for his videos using a remarkably simple light source: the LED on the back of his phone, partially covered by his finger. We can’t imagine the amount of work it must take to get those hand movements just right
