There’s a theme this week – digital meets physical. From Risograph printing with WebGL and a journaling app that will reply to your thoughts, to the impact our digital lives have on our experiences of the natural world. If you love reading the world’s most ridiculous reviews, this time on nature, then “The Nature of Critique” is a cracker.
Plus learn more about the inspiration behind “Renaissance” the haunting theme to HBO’s White Lotus, directly from the composer himself.
Enjoy those summer days –– until next time,
