WhatsApp Global Privacy Experience
This weekend, WhatsApp will launch a global activation in four cities around the world - New York, London, New Delhi, and São Paulo. This activation is the latest in a series of moments from the recently launched ‘Not Even WhatsApp’ global privacy campaign - WhatsApp’s biggest marketing campaign to date.
In New York, WhatsApp is taking over the High Line with a large-scale public installation designed to visualize one of its core promises: no one, not even WhatsApp, can see your private messages.
The installations will be at the High Line Coach Passage (entrance at 34th St - Hudson Yards) and will feature a series of experiences that bring to life the importance of privacy in your everyday life.
Experiences include:
Lenticular “chat bubbles” that block your image from view, illustrating how WhatsApp hides messages from everyone but sender and receiver
Directional audio signage that whispers a private message only to one person at a time
Emoji swings that create a disappearing illusion mid-air
A pixelated photo booth that simulates the visual equivalent of end-to-end encryption
A coded cushion puzzle hidden in a quiet corner, encouraging interpretation of visual messages
This moment in the ‘Not Even WhatsApp’ global privacy campaign will bring privacy to some of the most recognizable places in the world, going live on the High Line in New York, The Southbank in London, Ibirapuera Park in São Paulo, and Connaught Place Plaza in New Delhi.
For WhatsApp users who want to check they have the right level of protection, Privacy Checkup puts all your privacy and security settings for WhatsApp in one place right inside the app. Options include who can contact you and stop unwanted calls and messages. You can also adjust who can add you to groups, silence unknown callers, and manage your blocked contacts.
About WhatsApp
More than 3 billion people around the world use WhatsApp to stay in touch with friends and family, anytime and anywhere. WhatsApp is free and offers simple, secure, reliable messaging and calling. WhatsApp is also gaining popularity with over 100 million Americans already using WhatsApp, and double-digit growth in daily users and messages sent in the U.S.
Dea X Dea Performance
DEA x DEA asks: “What makes us human?” A surreal, physical, and playful dance work exploring identity, memory, and transformation.
“What makes us human?” That’s the central question animating DEA x DEA, an evening-length dance work that is playful, absurd, physical, and celebratory. Drawing from Massimiliano Bontempelli’s 1925 absurdist play Nostra Dea—a landmark of early magical realism—the piece interrogates how identity, particularly feminine identity, is shaped, erased, and mythologized by external forces.
In the original play, a childlike protagonist transforms daily, her identity shifting with each new outfit created by a mysterious dressmaker. In DEA x DEA, this character becomes a prism through which four performers explore the roles women are expected to inhabit—roles that feel both too tight and impossibly amorphous.
Nelson and Orchin reimagine Dea as both a vessel and a disrupter: a memoryless force navigating the chaos of identity, submitting and resisting in equal measure. Through moments of whimsical play and stark disruption, the dancers expose the cyclical nature of history, the amnesia of progress, and the absurd expectations still imposed on women today.
This final iteration culminates years of development, from solos to duets to ensemble works. Now distilled into its purest form, DEA x DEA embraces contradiction, movement, and metamorphosis—demanding we ask not just who Dea is, but who we are becoming.

Sour Patch Kids Glow Ups Blacklight Party
Sour Patch Kids is throwing the ultimate blacklight party, and it’s literally glowing. Brooklyn becomes the epicenter of flavor, fashion, and full-on festival vibes as Sour Patch Kids debuts their brand-new GLOW UPS: a strawberry-watermelon gummy sprinkled with edible confetti that glows under blacklight. It’s sour. It’s sweet. It’s extra. And it’s launching at a one-night-only rave-style takeover during NYC’s biggest music weekend.
