Inside Cartier’s New Immersive Exhibition in Boston

Many of Cartier’s pieces explicitly reference animals. Consider the Fauna and Flora collection inspired by nature, or the iconic Panthère watch beloved by It girls. (The panther has been an emblem of the house dating back to its founding in 1914). Keeping that in mind, the latest commission by Fondation Cartier—Cartier’s philanthropic arm dedicated to promoting contemporary art—is a perfect match. Billed as an immersive audio-visual experience, “The Great Animal Orchestra” at Boston’s Peabody Essex Museum features soundscapes of biodiversity across North America, Latin America, Kenya, Rwanda, and Zimbabwe recorded by soundscape ecologist Bernie Krause—over 50 percent of which has been lost.

Equal parts alarming and enlightening, the exhibition kicks off in the Amazon rainforest, where the sounds and its biophony, recorded in 1990, can no longer be heard due to increased logging and mining in the region. Next, you’ll hear baboons at the Mungwezi Ranch in Zimbabwe, followed abruptly by birds, coyotes, and mountain lions at Crescent Meadow, a picturesque clearing in California’s Sequoia National Park. Via trippy, ephemeral spectrograms created by United Visual Artists creative director Matt Clark, visitors become deeply engrossed by the ecosystem. (This writer even missed a few breaking news alerts.)

“The Great Animal Orchestra” is an exploration of sound: how we digest it, the ways in which animals express it. It’s also a reminder to sit back and immerse yourself in a remarkable display of wildlife. Below, get a closer look at the exhibition, open until May 22, 2022.

The seven soundscapes were specially curated to represent the fleetingness of the natural world.

United Visual Artists developed special software that produced animated spectrograms as visual representations of where and when Krause made his recordings (many at remote locations in the early hours).

The KM41 Amazon soundscape features sounds of rare species like tree frogs.

“The work is as much about what you hear as what you don’t hear,” says Krause.

Visitors are encouraged to either sit or lie down to absorb the sounds of nature.

Krause’s recording from Mungwezi Ranch demonstrates what he calls “acoustic niches,” which can only be generated by one particular species in one place at one specific point in time.

The exhibition concludes with a melange of soundscapes from oceans across the world.

Jennifer Lopez Joined Ben Affleck In L.A. With Kids For Thanksgiving

Jennifer Lopez Joined Ben Affleck In L.A. With Kids For Thanksgiving


On Wednesday night, Jennifer Lopez arrived in Los Angeles with her 13-year-old twins Max and Emme. The family was likely there to join Lopez’s boyfriend, Ben Affleck, for the Thanksgiving holiday. Lopez recently returned from the much colder climate of British Columbia, Canada, where she was filming her latest project, The Mother.

J. Lo touched down in her private jet wearing a teddy fur coat from Coach’s Autumn/Winter 2019 collection, and a pair of Ugg boots. Classic airplane outfit, celebrity style. Lopez and Affleck originally dated in 2002 and broke up in 2004. Their romance was rekindled earlier this year, soon after Lopez ended her relationship with baseball player Alex Rodriguez. The new couple went official in July, while celebrating Lopez’s 52nd birthday abroad.

Affleck’s most recent relationship with Ana de Armas ended in January after about a year together. He had divorced ex-wife Jennifer Garner in 2015 after being married for almost a decade. Garner and Affleck had three daughters, Violet, Seraphina, and Sam.

Before traveling back to the U.S., Lopez posted a story to Instagram Reels about how grateful she was to be headed home.

“Hey everybody, it’s my last day here shooting on The Mother out in Smithers in the snow, it’s been beautiful, but tonight I’m on my way home,” she said, as she walked through the wild landscape in a black coat and beanie.

“I’m so excited for Thanksgiving! I hope everybody has an amazing weekend with their families and their loved ones, there’s so much to be grateful for this year. I’m on my way!”

This is the first major holiday of the year since Lopez and Affleck reunited, so it’s likely to be a big one for both families.

Everlane’s Black Friday Sale is Packed With Winter Essentials

This is not a drill: Everlane just kicked off its Black Friday sale. Now through Monday, November 29, the direct-to-consumer brand is offering 20 to 40% off its cozy sweaters, minimalist activewear, and popular jeans. If you’re not super familiar with Everlane, let me spell it out for you: this is a big deal.

The e-tailer might be known for making sustainable, ethically made clothes and accessories at a fair, affordable price, but Everlane rarely has sales beyond its Choose What You Pay section. So, if you want to stock up on cute basics for less, now’s your time to shop.

And, in true Everlane fashion, the brand is taking this opportunity to give back. Everlane is partnering with Rodale Institute and help U.S. farmers transition their farmland to regenerative organic—and donating $15 per order to the cause. A great sale that gives back? I’m sold.

But, hurry! These deals are going to sell out fast, so you won’t want to waste any time filling your e-cart.
