Iconoculture: The deliciously interactive rooms have graced some of England's most elaborate society parties, but Staite's Food Is Art catalog also includes one-offs like plates, tea cups, shot glasses and jewelry.

Playful, whimsical and delicious? Art has never been more enticing. Consumers gravitate toward experiences that challenge and stimulate all their senses.

Food Is Art claims to provoke deep thoughts about our relationship with food, but let's face it – chocolate rooms are more about indulgence, which doesn't come cheaply in this case.

Trendsetters: If you need more evidence that art is hot, you need look no further than last week’s Art Basel Miami Beach show, which attracted an eclectic mix of collectors, artists and glitterati from all over the world to the already sizzling surroundings of South Beach.

While the visceral appeal of art is always high, it has reached even greater heights now that luxury is back in vogue. And leave it to the Swiss to bring an event to the land of eternal plastic that exemplifies America’s chief economical driving force: shopping.

The hot art market is behind the art hotel phenomenon. Here San Francisco artist Tim Gaskin shows off his Hotel Des Arts room.
What other “mall” lets you buy a Picasso for $13 million? Or has a fleet of BMWs ready to wisk its big-spending clientele to their next high-profile appointment? It’s perhaps even more noteworthy that Miami has moved to the forefront of art and entertainment. In March, the Winter Music Conference will occupy the center stage of heat.

London's Victoria and Albert Museum has a new exhibition that completely transforms the entire process of visiting a gallery with its innovative sound installations.

The exhibition, 'Shhh... Sounds in Spaces', is unique in that the V&A museum has invited 10 different musicians and artists to provide sound-pieces to accompany the collection of sculpture, furniture and fasion in the different rooms and spaces. The contributors vary from big names like Gillian Wearing and Jeremy Deller, to musicians like Roots Manuva, and David Byrne.

Your journey begins in the museum's Contemporary Space, where visitors collect headphones, a custom-made MP3 player and a map that leads them through the series of sound installations. Infra-red sensors throughout the museum trigger the in-ear soundtracks which vary dramatically from space to space, ranging from large-scale soundscapes to spoken pieces in response to a single art object.

Now that's 'modern' art, isn't it?
