So Long 2024!

Recently, Apt-122 worked on a project with Spotify Daylist. You may have seen the soft radial gradient on your app. It promises a playlist that is completely tailored to your mood, whether it's morning, noon or night. Its hilariously tweet-able titles, such as 'soul crushing chin-stroking Thursday afternoon', form a curated experience that immerses you in both nostalgia and newness.

The genius of the daylist is that it mixes music you love with songs you may have never heard. This is the point at which we find something interesting—when something we know intersects with something we don't. This combination of familiarity and unknown draws us in, allowing us to have a new experience.

We are not in any shortage of uncertainty. So as we move forward into the next year and make our resolutions, consider how we plan for this new cycle. How can we find stability amongst the disquiet? Our personal lives seem small against the backdrop of the wider world. But experiencing the micro and the macro, the unknown and the familiar, the slow jams and the bangers, will sustain us through difficult times.

Last December, Apt-122 hosted an intimate holiday party for our nearest and dearest. We wanted to share some of the musings that emerged over the dinner table—where the best conversations always happen.

We also have been busy creating custom mailers for Spotify—one to celebrate their Daylist, and another for New Year's Eve. Check them out below!
 

This weekend, entertain the kids at the Brooklyn Children's Book Fair at the Brooklyn Museum. 

While you're there, witness how Elizabeth Catlett connected with the political issues of her time, transforming her thoughts into wondrous works of art.

From November 20th, the Shed presents Luna Luna, a carnival spectacular with rides featuring pieces by Basquiat, Haring, and Dalí. Looks like it won't be one to forget.
