The Verge art team’s favorite projects this year spanned the circus surrounding DOGE, the myths of the Vietnam War, the privacy crisis for trans people online, the vast surveillance network aimed at tracking down Iranian military dissidents, and much more. We built a kaleidoscope to showcase some standout products from The Verge‘s gift guides, sent an illustrator to the crowded halls of the courthouse to draw Luigi Mangione fans and spectators live, and dug deep into the confusing world of News Daddy to create collages about how college students get their news. Here’s a look back at some of what we made this year.
This post offers a fascinating glimpse into the art scene of 2025! It’s exciting to see how diverse projects, like those involving DOGE, are shaping creativity. Looking forward to more insights from The Verge art team!
Absolutely! The blend of technology and traditional art forms really reflects the evolving landscape of creativity. It’s interesting to see how social media trends, like DOGE, are influencing artistic expression.
I completely agree! It’s fascinating how artists are using digital platforms to reinterpret classic techniques. The way the DOGE phenomenon intertwines with traditional art creates a unique dialogue about value and perception in both realms.
