“The best of what the World Wide Web has to offer”

Sim Hutchins "I enjoy to sweep a room"

Grim tales of YouTube techno infused tracks. I spent a lot of time alone making this record, to the point where I was isolating myself from the outside world a bit. This controlled and insular approach had a huge impact on the record's sound, and at some points I feared it was a bit too revealing. “Tie Me To A Rocket” was made to represent an ending to the album's agitated and nihilistic narrative, it's an optimistic letting-go of sorts. Less: “nothing matters,” more: “what does it matter?”

Paradigms lost

Coming from a scientist, this sounds smug, but here it is: science is one of humanity’s most noble and successful endeavours, and our best way to learn how the world works. We know more than ever about our own bodies, the biosphere, the planet and even the cosmos. We take pictures of Pluto, unravel quantum mechanics, synthesise complex chemicals and can peer into (as well as manipulate) the workings of DNA, not to mention our brains and, increasingly, even our diseases.

Scott Sueme

Canadian artist Scott Sueme’s latest series of paintings have a sporty theme from swimming pools to concrete playgrounds. Focusing on unusual angles or honing in on the abstract details allows Scott to provide an alternative perspective of these typically active places.

Masculin Féminin by Jean Luc Godard

Pretty much all of Jean-Luc Godard's films are essential viewing, especially the work he did in the 60s. Masculin Féminin is one of those films that reminds you of your youth -- it meanders, it takes its time, it's rebellious, and a little angsty. It doesn't care if it captures your attention, because it's going to exist whether you like it or not.
