In which we can see future movements built on the edges of heat, brightness, and, of course, an AI-influenced metaverse.

This irregular — and often irreverent — roundup of brand experiences, culture-driven experiments, and scoops of perception is back for the ninth time.

Let’s heat it up to power it up.

1. AI Models, advertisers’ scandal-free darlings

2. Lenticular Books, the first animated book of its kind

3. Image Super-resolution, the stuff of movies, made real

4. Whitest White, world record-breaking paint

5. Body Heat Electricity, dancers provide the power for a nightclub

6. Glowing Plants, now brighter and easier to recharge

7. Potato Pal, a different home for selfies

8. ​​Isochoric Freezing, a revolution that also saves energy

9. Virtual Blimps, custom-built for the metaverse

10. Three T’s, turning moments into movements

If you have a new intrigue of your own or see something I missed, let’s discuss it here.

The New New will be back again (at some point).
