Here are the best things I found on the internet last week. A stunning musical performance, great art, why Bitcoin is the worst, how AI could lead to creative/local software, and something to waste some time with on the toilet. The full set.
VIDEO: DOMi & JD BECK - SPACE MOUNTAiN - Live at Tokyo, Japan Just watch it. 2 certified child prodigies at work. Musicianship at its finest whilst looking like the coolest mf-ers in town.
ART: Mantraβs Murals Collect Enormous Butterflies in Building-Size Specimen Cases French artist Youri Cansell, known as Mantra, creates large, vibrant insect murals, including a recent rooftop piece in Miami featuring diverse butterfly species to promote nature preservation. Stunning. I want one on the side of my street.
