I’ve not used this visual thinking tool yet but it looks really cool! You can make cards of texts and images and link them together with coloured lines to create groups and flows of thought. The design is fun too!

I made the mistake of playing this retro smooth synth funk music video to my toddler and it’s now become a multiple times daily ritual that we watch this extra-long-ponytailed man emote on his synthesizer. But I don’t mind because if my baby’s into synthesisers then as far as I’m concerned I’ve done my job as a father perfectly 👌

A beautiful vocal and analogue synthesiser performance. Oh there’s a cello too! It’s powerful and spacious at the same time, like THE UNIVERSE ITSELF WHOAAA 🌌

An ambient sound/music project by sound artist Crystal Cortez which uses the electrical impulses of growing plants to create musical pitches and sounds. The pieces on this website were made from plant data and field recordings collected at the International Rose Test Garden in Portland Oregon.

This is a fascinating website which displays a rapidly changing stream of YouTube videos with very little or no views, which tend to be unpolished personal videos. The result is a sense that you are peering into the lives of everyday people all over the planet - like an astronaut exploring life on earth.

I love this brass quartet piece by The Westerlies, it’s kinda joyful and beautiful! If you like this, their album Wherein Lies The Good is definitely worth a listen, some wonderful stuff on there 🎺

My friend Verity Standen made this beautiful song and music video in the depths of the pandemic. I first watched this a couple of months ago feeling deeply exhausted with it all, and I proper blubbed, I tell you, blubbed all down my face.

I’m currently beta testing this innovative co-creation platform. It’s a fun, malleable space to converse with video streaming and visual elements you can position wherever you like - like if Zoom was a creative collage you could move around in real time!

Mmm is a super playful one page website maker with drag and drop abilities to quickly and easily make a characterful collage/comic/website. Looks fun!

Lots to ingest in this talk on creativity by sculpture artist Tom Sachs! I love the bit about “Just because you can, doesn’t mean you should” - I’ve often struggled with having lots of ideas and being buffeted about by them instead of choosing one and seeing it through to the end.

Japanese designer Okazaki Tomohiro makes playful stop-motion animations of matches. Mesmerising and oddly satisfying!

This mind bending puzzle game is a somehow calming trip through infinity. Each level is solved by twisting gravity to manouver blocks as you travel by falling/flying through endlessly repeating versions of the same world. It’s hard to explain, watch the trailer!

Holy moly I enjoyed this animated crazy Spider-Man film a lot! They really went to town experimenting with the animation and visual styles. Even the end credits are a piece of motion graphics art. The sound design is rad and the characters are all great too! My partner Katie usually hates superhero films, but as soon as we finished this one she said “I want to watch that again…” so, there you go!

This pop/punk/noise album by Norwegian band Pom Poko is like candied habañeros, sweet but spiky! Gets me excited!

This compilation album of Venezualan music from 1966 - 1978 is bringing some sunshine to my life at the moment. My lil boy loves dancing to it too! There’s a second compilation out soon if this floats your boat.

A trippy lil short of two guys talking bout nothin while their faces go nuts.

A musical making video with a fun version of Popcorn at the end :)

A home concert video with Róisín managing to be totally captivating and badass in her living room!

A website that detects where your cursor is and choses a photo of a person pointing at it. A momentary diversion, but it’s pretty fun!

This guy has been making silly videos for a while and just blew up from 3k subscribers to 733k in the last two months thanks to this series of animations.
