What happens when intelligence scales… but wisdom doesn’t?

Tonight at 9pm BST we release Shekhar Natarajan’s Oxford Talk where he challenges the way we’re building artificial intelligence and the values we’re quietly embedding into it.

This isn’t about fear of technology, it’s about responsibility, about what we optimise for and what we don’t.

We’re partnering with Aputure.

We have been using their lights for years so this one feels very full circle.
We weren’t expecting the box to be this big but then again, neither is what we’re building.

Unboxing video coming soon.

People think iconic projects give you creative freedom but as and share, the real work is honouring the connection people already have to that world.

Before a single word is spoken, perception is already at work. This partnership marks a shared commitment to craft, clarity, and how ideas are experienced — not just captured.

Grateful to be working with Aputure as we shape what comes next.

In our episode with Alex Merry, he shares a moment that made him put his phone down mid-scroll.

The speaker? Rutger Bregman.
The question? One that flips your thinking in an instant.

It’s not just about boldness—it’s about using the right question to stop someone in their tracks and invite them to think differently.

🎙 Hear how Alex Merry uses moments like this to shape powerful talks.

That’s the rarest currency now.

Michael Bierut reveals a truth every designer eventually learns: iconic work doesn’t give you freedom — it gives you responsibility.

🎧 Comment “Pentagram” and we’ll DM you the episode link to the full conversation.

When he talks about Harry’s Pink Floyd project, he reminds us that you’re not designing in a vacuum. People already have an emotional history with that visual language, and your job is to honour it while taking it somewhere deeper.

Great design carries the past forward, not away.

A year of people willing to think in public.
Fourteen voices.
Fourteen ways of seeing the world a little more clearly.

These talks were not about having the loudest idea but about having one worth sitting with.

Thank you to every speaker who trusted us with their thinking.
Ideas worth doing.

If Coca-Cola can reach the most remote places on earth, it raises a hard question:
why can’t life-saving medicine?

This clip looks at how distribution, not innovation, can be the difference between access and absence.

Talking about humanity is easy.

Acting on it is not.

Shekhar Natarajan doesn’t romanticise the idea of “kindness” — he interrogates it. Especially when the power to change lives already sits in your bank account.
