Walk through a trippy mirrored maze in Rockefeller Center this month
Called Reflection Point, the piece by Brooklyn-based artist duo Wade and Leta (Wade Jeffree and Leta Sobierajski) is on view for free at Rockefeller Center until July 20. Take a moment to stroll through its shifting pathways and definitely snap a few photos while you're there.
As you walk through the colorful maze, you'll spot bold, graphic shapes that function as doors, welcoming visitors to push through and uncover new routes for some playful exploration. Color guides the eye through certain passages, while reflection and refraction conceal others, inviting constant reevaluation of direction and experience.

"The piece is an immersive, kinetic environment of color and mirrored surfaces, inviting viewers to move, reflect, and participate in the iconic location," artists Wade and Leda said in a statement. "It's a work about perception, process, and the shifting relationship between technology and art."
To create the larger-than-life installation, the artist duo used Whisk, a Google Labs AI experiment that enables fast, visual ideation and brainstorming. Then, they combined mirrored aluminum composite panel, plywood, stainless steel, vinyl, and rubber to take the ideas off the screen and into reality.
Though the artists have created participatory artwork in places like London, Tokyo and Beijing, this is their first large-scale outdoor artwork in NYC.

'While some of this income came from donations and our end of trail auction, a huge portion was from corporate sponsorship, which is why the support we receive from businesses like Specsavers is invaluable to Highland Hospice. 'This revenue greatly helps us to fund the delivery of the right care in the right place at the right time, to our patients and their loved ones across the entire Highland region.

The biggest immersive attraction in Europe will soon open in west London
Westfield London recently reclaimed its title as the biggest shopping centre in Europe, so it's only fitting that the west London retail destination will be the site of Europe's largest immersive attraction from next year. Due to open in summer 2026, London's first Amazement Park® is the latest project from the team behind both South Downs-based festival Boomtown Fair and Bristol-based immersive art experience Wake The Tiger, which has been visited by half a million people from over 70 different countries since opening in 2022. The new venue will take over the space that formerly housed interactive play space KidZania, which welcomed more than 2.5 million visitors before closing last January, and hopes to attract 600,000 visitors a year by 2027. As a certified B Corporation, Wake The Tiger has committed to keeping sustainability and community engagement at the heart of its work, and intends to involve hundreds of artists, makers and multidisciplinary creatives in the creation of the 80,000 square foot Westfield venue. Speaking of the expansion, Wake The Tiger Co-Founder and Chief Creative Officer Luke Mitchell said. 'This is a culmination of over 20 years of creative world-building. The space in Westfield London has totally blown our mind. It's as if it was created for us and we can't wait to transform it into an alternate dimension.' Details of what the space will look like and how the experience will operate are yet to be revealed, but the venue has been described by Wake The Tiger's chief commercial officer Lucy Jarjoura as a 'multi-generational sensory explosion of lights, sounds and smells.'

Cruz Beckham, 20, packs on the PDA with girlfriend Jackie Apostel, 30, during a summer holiday as family feud with brother Brooklyn continues
Cruz Beckham packed on the PDA with his glamorous girlfriend Jackie Apostel during a summer holiday as the family feud with his brother Brooklyn continues. The musician, 20, and the Brazilian singer, 30, have been enjoying a break in Miami, with Jackie sharing a series of photos to Instagram on Friday. She looked incredible in a red strapless mini dress which she teamed with a pair of gingham heels. Cruz opted for a smart, pink pinstriped shirt with wide legged trouser and Converse trainers. The couple headed out for a glass of wine with Jackie captioning the update: 'In the middle of nowhere :)' Cruz is currently embroiled in a widening family rift with wayward older brother Brooklyn, 26, and his actress wife, Nicola Peltz, 31. Both Victoria and David Beckham have become estranged from Brooklyn and his wife after they failed to attend any of his father's 50th birthday celebrations in May. Despite flying to London, Brooklyn and Nicola didn't attend the big family party at the Beckhams' Cotswolds home or an idyllic trip to France or a meal at Notting Hill restaurant, Core. Brooklyn did however wish his granddad Ted a happy 77th birthday on Thursday after his estranged mum Victoria snubbed him from her family tribute. The eldest son is currently locked in a bitter feud with his parents, with him and his wife Nicola Peltz being pitted against the rest of the family. Sharing a photo with David's dad Ted, he wished him well writing: 'Happy birthday grandad. I love you xx.' Meanwhile back home Victoria honoured her father-in-law with a family snap that did not include her eldest son and his wife. She captioned the post: 'Happy birthday @tedbeckham kisses' before going on to tag sons Romeo, 22, Cruz as well as daughter Harper, 14. In another update, Brooklyn embraced his billionaire father-in-law in snaps from the family getaway to St Tropez. He enjoyed a friendly beer with Nelson Peltz, 83, before packing on the PDA with wife Nicola onboard the businessman's superyacht. Amid the trip the couple enjoyed a swanky lunch with Brooklyn's godfather Elton John, who sources revealed planned the dinner in a desperate attempt to calm the family's feud. Nicola shared a slew of final holiday snaps from the couple's lavish trip before heading home to the US. Sir Elton, who has been friends with David and Victoria Beckham for over 30 years, treated Brooklyn and Nicola to food at fancy La Guerite beach club in the South of France. According to The Sun, Sir Elton 'briefly' spoke about the family's feud in the hope Brooklyn would patch things up with his parents. A source said: 'Elton of old may have relished in taking sides - in this case his young godson, Brooklyn - but two years off his 80th birthday, he's a man who has seen and done it all. He just wants everyone to be happy. 'There is no sidetaking as such; he simply adores his godson, and really has a laugh with Nicola who he thinks has a great sense of humour. He wants to look after them in his role as 'spiritual adviser' as a godfather, it's a role he takes seriously. 'Elton and David think the situation is terribly sad, and has gently suggested to all involved that life is short - to patch things up.' In another update, Brooklyn embraced his billionaire father-in-law in snaps from the family getaway to St Tropez The source added Sir Elton is 'adamant he doesn't want to stick his nose in' the feud, he just simply 'wants peace'. MailOnline contacted the Beckham's and Elton's representatives for comment. Nicola couldn't wipe the smile off her face during the lunch as she sipped on Aperol Spritz at the fancy beach club. Sir Elton is also said to have generously picked up the entire bill, after dining on the restaurant's signature lobster linguine which comes in at an eye-watering £190. David affectionately calls the musician 'Uncle Elton' after becoming friends in his football heyday. Sir Elton was due to perform at the Beckhams wedding in 1999 but suffering a heart attack that prevented him from playing. He later sang at one of the children's christenings. Meanwhile Victoria once disclosed that it was Elton who inspired her to say goodbye to the Spice Girls, penning an emotional letter to her older self where she confessed that watching her friend perform made her realise that her true calling lay beyond singing.
