What is Venti? Is it related to Starbucks?

Venti: Air, Experience, and Aesthetics is a forum for discussions about 2020’s foregrounding of air, its related themes, and historical, interdisciplinary, and critical resonances. Much to our dismay, and despite our team’s general love for caffeinated beverages, we are in no way affiliated with or sponsored by Starbucks Coffee.
