Each week I write a quick dispatch of the week’s activities, mainly for myself as something I can refer back to if needed, including images, video and code. Here’s the latest. https://brendandawes.com/blog/1253-twtwtw-1-feb-2026

Just renewed my Flickr Pro account for another two years as it’s one of the few places that still hold true to the original vision of the web. ❤️

Over the holiday period I created Chromacode. A visual identity system for my work inspired by Peter Saville’s Blue Monday cover. Read about it here brendandawes.com/chromacode/ or see it in action in any project page on my site.

Under the Skin is one of my all time fave films and I’ve just read the incredible book. Glazer’s film centre’s on the main character whilst Faber’s book is much more detailed. A book that will stay with me for a long time.

Loved this conversation with @marcthiele.com and @bradfrost.com https://beyondtellerrand.com/blog/brad-frost-wake-up-excited-with-marc-thiele

Well it took me several days of wrangling but finally upgraded my @getkirby.com powered site from 2.5 to 5!

Both myself and Gary Hustwit are thrilled to be finalists in the Aesthetica Art Prize 2025. We’re thrilled to be featured alongside such a stellar line-up of artists. The work will be running live non-stop from 19th September at York Art Gallery where you can see all the short-listed works.

“Whether crafting 3D-printed sculptures from motion data or visualising digital memories, Dawes’s work is a reminder that digital tools can be used to reveal — not erase — the human presence.” https://artplugged.co.uk/art-digital-world-human-after-all/

Lovely write up following the Japanese premiere of Eno. https://note.com/akiko_saito/n/nee0970f844a6?fbclid=IwQ0xDSwK8tehleHRuA2FlbQIxMQABHtj2x0m6e3hwnqN1iP11ZSSjHgpidOYk46Wf7OOOgjIQyRUISWqR4q4sO3eE_aem_dgZRJoYliZXAwHwm5Amkmw
