Incohesive, slightly confusing… Genius daVinci is one more “Immersive Experience” which sorely lacks both facets of the phrase. Just over the road from Berghain, in a hangar which looks like… well, Berghain (but with friendlier doormen), is apparently the current home of one of humanity’s greatest ever artists/draftsmen/architects/inventors/painters. In an “Immersive Experience” imaginatively called Genius … Read more Genius daVinci – An Underwhelming Experience

Ari Liloan

The cloud of financial, existential and every other kind of panic that was lockdown feels like it’s behind us.
