This is what you get - Stanley Donwood and Thom Yorke exhibition
source-notes on the exhibition by Stanley-Donwood and [[ thom-yorke ]] of Radiohead at the Ashmolean in Oxford in 2025
- Big influence on me. Was a delight to see the original large scale artworks, notebooks, gestation of ideas. Big emphasis on process without expecting results (Focus-on-Process-not-the-end-goal)
- Collaborative work between both artists - building on ideas between each other but not precious- allow the other to destroy or completely alter parts.
- see-restrictions-as-games - eg. don’t use undo function when making a digital image. (Restrictions-Make-You-More-Creative)
- Music informs the art and art informs the music.
- Throw out loads of ideas and something might stick - Quantity-Not-Quality
- embrace-accidents-when-making-art or chaos - In Rainbows was due to an accidental oil spill.
