It’s hard to put into words the love I have for @experienceform @arcosanti_arizona ❤️‍🔥 It is a rare thing to bring people together for unforgettable performances in such a beautifully intimate and unique place. What @zach.tet @mikefeinberg @kim___swift have built over the years is like no other festival and I feel blessed to be a part of it 🫶 Rain or shine, can’t wait for the next one 🪐💫🌞

FORM is a time capsule overflowing with love, inspiration, optimism, empathy, struggle, perseverance, vulnerability, and some kind of literal magic. It’s impossible to describe what we’re all feeling after having just experienced it, but even after a hurricane destroyed the site and forced us to cancel a full day, i’m somehow left with an even greater appreciation for this project, for each other, for every single attendee, performer, staff, volunteer, etc... I feel genuinely inspired and excited about what giant things this small group of people will do with the little piece of magic they took from this.

what a start to another trip around the sun. my birthday was september 20, but i’m only just making my way through the film.

@hubbahubba, @archivenewyork and i had a marie antoinette movie club, with an insanely good pistachio ice cream cake by amira. then came the last @objectpermanence where i got to show an urn and kickoff off @ladesignweekend with @hollanddenvir. the after party was at the plaza with hot dogs, cosmos and sensational drag (cher doing abba).

on the 20th itself, we saw a movie and had dinner at night + market, with pavlova to finish. feeling very grateful and so so lucky to have celebrated with such a banner week! thank you to everyone who made this year such a perfect celebration.

For the early risers, the makers, the deep listeners & the stargazers. The FORM Arcosanti 2026 Art & Activities Program invites active participation over passive spectatorship, creating conditions where music, art, and human connection are inseparable from the environment in which they unfold. 👈 Swipe to explore

Just wanted to pop on here and say thank you again to the artists, patreon, the event coordinators, and staff that put on the DIY tote bag event last Saturday @foragercrafts in Frogtown by the Los Angeles River.

We had a blast and so thankful for the opportunity to sit and chat with you all in person!

Be sure to check out their work on Patreon!

Category Is… Multisensory Saturday

For this edition, we asked Kim Swift, LAD/W’s Head of Experience, to build a Saturday that engages more than just your eyeballs. A multidisciplinary designer whose work spans participatory installations, festivals, social spaces, furniture and objects, Kim thinks deeply about how people move through a space—and how design can create connection, joy and a sense of belonging.

Naturally, her list is meant to be heard, touched, tasted and moved through: experiences that invite you to participate, play and become part of the work, rather than simply stand back and admire it. Swipe through for Kim’s Multisensory Saturday—and prepare to use every sense you have.
