WIRED rounds up September's top cultural picks, including Beach House's new album and Kubrick's "2001: A Space Odyssey" revisited.
KUBRICK REVISITED
Piers Bizony's The Making of Stanley Kubrick's "2001: A Space Odyssey" opens the pod bay door on the legendary film-maker's creative process. Now on full release after a painfully limited 2014 run.
CITY OF LIGHTS
From projection-mapped urban landscapes to green street lights, Davina Jackson's SuperLux profiles some of the most innovative artists experimenting with the latest in lighting technology. Published on Aug 24
SNOWDEN'S IN THE FRAME
We all know how Edward Snowden exposed the NSA surveillance scandal -- so here's another take on the story. Ted Rall's Snowden gives him the comic-book hero treatment. It's a revelation. Out on Aug 18
STRANGE FRUIT
Beach House's new album Depression Cherry features less drumming and dreamier atmospheres than the duo's previous work. Physical versions will come wrapped in cherry-like crimson velvet. Released Aug 28
MEGA LOLS
Seasonally appropriate item alert: Tessa Geuze's Something Sweet kit is designed to help you make lollipops from foraged and all-natural ingredients. Honey and roasted-almond flavour? Yes, please.
BIOPIC WITH ATTITUDE
Produced and soundtracked by NWA founder members Dr Dre and Ice Cube, Straight Outta Comptonfollows the rise -- and fall -- of the gangsta rap pioneers. (Alas, the story of Beats Electronics will have to wait for the sequel.) Out Aug 28
CATCH IT WHILE YOU CAN
The Disappearing Acts exhibition at the Lofoten International Art Festival focuses on the decline of human agency. More than 20 artists contribute, including Elizabeth Price and Katja Novitskova. From Aug 28 liaf.no
