It might be a good time to open a chapter on humour, the most powerful tool of them all… I like to think :)

It’s fair to say that it plays a central role in the media environment, it shapes how we understand ideas, social boundaries and even logic.

Tomorrow for our weekly live mix I will be revisiting an interview I produced last year with Pieter de Poortere, the creator of the hilarious comics character Dickie

This episode features “Paisatges de Plàstic”  an art piece by Elena Villalba, Xénia Cros, Pau Galceràn, Oriol Ruiz and Lydia Moreno from the Art School of Olot @artdissenyolot in Catalunya.

There are things  happening in the world that are extremely harmful to society and to the environment, but are quite... boring to talk about. Boring because it’s complex, It’s visually non appealing, it’s distant, it’s silent, it’s grey…

How do we deal with this as a society, in an era where people's attention span is shorter than ever and the competitive media landscape pushes content production to the edges of dramatic, sensational, crazy, and... “you won’t believe what happens next”? This is a real question for artists, storytellers and other influencers of culture who care about impact: how do we deal with “important, but not sexy”…

How much of our attention, of our energy, of our budget, are we putting into the invisible? The invisible in our lives? In other words: how much are we investing in the subtle realm?

History, and daily life keeps showing us how vulnerable we are to ‘the truth’. What is the truth? 🧐

We think something is true, until it’s not true anymore, until there is a better truth… a better truth because it became demonstrably true, and contradicts or suppresses the previous one. 👍👎👀

This episode is the first one of our deep dive on paradigms. It features the work of the Yes Men

Have you heard about this city in Costa Rica that extended citizenship to bees & other pollinators? Today we explore the potential of local stories for the locals (vs. global for the locals). We also feature the work of Matthew Willey & The Good of the Hive.

“Things have never been so good for humanity” “There’s never been a better time to be alive” “We’ve never had it so good than right now”. These couple of lines are very meaningful because when we accept this narrative as a truth, we open the door to a legion of story monsters that invade culture and society’s common sense.

In connection to this episode I am featuring the work of Scott Listfield, who’s known for his paintings featuring a lone exploratory astronaut lost in a landscape cluttered with pop culture icons, corporate logos, and tongue-in-cheek science fiction references.

It’s a great way to reflect on the present, the past and the future maybe? Remember it starts with the words we pick, and the stories we chose to tell.

Do NOT listen to this episode.

Features the poem “Negation” by Wallace Stevens:

Hi! The creator too is blind,

Struggling toward his harmonious whole,

Rejecting intermediate parts,

Horrors and falsities and wrongs;

Incapable master of all force,

Too vague idealist, overwhelmed

By an afflatus that persists.

For this, then, we endure brief lives,

The evanescent symmetries

From that meticulous potter's thumb.
