Less of a sequel than a spin-off video game, "Resurgence" is so brazen in its goofy artificiality—what with its computer-generated backdrops, cardboard actors and 3000-mile-wide plot holes—that when London's bridges start falling down, most viewers will care even less than the characters do.

Mr. White employs the full true-crime arsenal, including black-and-white re-creations of events and a lot of b-roll of bleak Baltimore backdrops, to achieve a consistently artful atmosphere of foreboding, but "The Keepers" doesn't quite add up to the unified argument he's trying for.

In the most defining moments of the group's self-titled first album, just released by MIE, Mr. Ahmad sings in high and echoey, yet strangely intimate, long tones — in the past he has called his songs "personal transmissions toward specific people" — and Mr. Carlson and Mr. Sielaff build swirling, consonant backdrops.

This wasn't the first time that a museum-goer has broken a piece of art, but considering that Kusama's dazzlingly surreal installations are notoriously popular backdrops for selfies, the story quickly made headlines—framed, implicitly, as the peak of a photo-sharing-induced frenzy that would clumsily crash the precious art world to the ground if not stopped.

This may sound tedious, but in the heat of combat, it has an exhilarating effect that makes a convincing case for taking these historic and video game-friendly backdrops and putting them in VR.

The Existential Void of the Pop-Up 'Experience' Amanda Hess explores the very-right-now phenomenon of pop-up experiences, such as the Color Factory and Museum of Ice Cream, that essentially serve as little more than Instagram backdrops: The central disappointment of these spaces is not that they are so narcissistic, but rather that they seem to have such a low view of the people who visit them.

Fierce, fantastical images that referenced both the band's new album as well as the classics decked the screens and backdrops that slid onstage for each song, and Bruce Dickinson himself went through more costume changes than Taylor Swift—my favorite look was the oversized noose he wore jauntily around his neck during the epic "Hallowed Be Thy Name," followed closely by his sun's out guns out look near the end, his inexplicable purple lucha mask, and the sensible brown cords he sported throughout.
