Some images become part of popular culture. People remember the photograph, even if they don’t always know the photographer behind it.

David Goldman’s image for Blink-182’s "E***a of the State" became one of the most recognisable album covers of the early 2000s.

Addicted is excited to welcome the award-winning photographer and filmmaker for the upcoming launch of his series “Mirror Mirror”.

Photographed inside Jamie Nelson’s “Pink Mansion” in Los Angeles, the series explores the dynamic of one photographer stepping into the world of another. Jamie’s world of vintage glamour, sexuality, and self-expression is not simply aesthetic backdrop, but an extension of the persona she lives and breathes. Within that space, the work moves through increasingly visible conversations around authorship, image ownership, and the evolving relationship between photographer and subject in contemporary visual culture.

The images feel collaborative, but they’re not passive. They are shaped, considered, and ultimately authored through David Goldman’s photographic perspective.

In a sweeping critique of artificial intelligence, Pope Leo XIV warns against the concentration of technological power, the manipulation of truth through AI-generated content, and the reduction of human experience into data and performance.

As artificial intelligence rapidly reshapes creative industries, Pope Leo XIV argues that authentic art cannot be separated from lived experience, moral imagination, and emotional truth.

A timely reflection on authorship, culture, and what may be lost as automation moves deeper into creative practice.

“Authentic culture and art preserve this spark.” ~ Pope Leo XIV

In his first major teaching, Pope Leo XIV cites Picasso's Guernica as a human creation of 'almost prophetic significance'

The Art Scoop: Part of Invader’s “Rubik Master Pieces” series, the work recreates Andy Warhol’s iconic Marilyn Monroe portraits using Rubik’s Cubes. Limited to the cube’s six-colour palette, Marilyn emerges as a pixelated mosaic that shifts between abstraction and recognisable pop iconography.

"Maria de Desatanudos" by Ale Osollo

The Art Scoop: "Mary, Untier of Knots" is a tribute to the traditional Mexican figure of the Virgin Mary, who, through faith, helps believers navigate life’s deepest difficulties. The knots in her hands symbolise the problems we as humans cannot solve, problems the Virgin Mary, through her eternal love, is willing to untie to bring colour back into our lives.
