12 h. ago ‘It was the people’s art’: exhibition explores mysteries of early American photography

Metropolitan Museum of Art, New YorkThe New Art at the Met, an unusual array of photos taken between 1839 and 1910, reveals an unexpected historyPhotography expert and Metropolitan Museum of Art curator Jeff L Rosenheim believes that cameras are profoundly entwined with the American story. “I’ve always been drawn to photography because it has this baseline democratic principle,” he told me. “It arrived from Europe in 1839, and what were we going to do with it?

Panic; PC, PS4/5, XboxSet during Ecuador’s 2002 World Cup qualifying campaign, this fascinating, semi-autobiographical game gives you control of the life of a soccer-mad eight-year-oldVideo games have been simulating football since the 1970s, but they have rarely ever thought about simulating fandom.

The way most of us experience the really big matches is through stolen moments of vicarious glory on televisions and giant pub screens, surrounded by friends and family and the sounds and images of real life.This is the territory of Despelote, a beautiful, utterly transportive game about childhood and memory, set during Ecuador’s historic 2002 World Cup qualifying campaign.
