Welcome back to Rising Tide, the weekly digest of things I’ve discovered or been into this past week and consider worth sharing. Enjoy!
1. The Uncomfortable, a follow up to The World’s Most Uncomfortable Chairs found in Rising Tide 2019 Week 11.
2. Nina Katchadourian‘s Flight Log from Seat Assignment, art made in flight with a phone’s camera and materials aboard the plane.
Seat Assignment is born from an investment in thinking on your feet, from optimism about the artistic potential that lurks within the mundane, and from curiosity about the productive tension between freedom and constraint.
– Nina Katchadourian
3. The best book I read this week is Art Matters by Neil Gaiman ★★★★★ A combination of a few different writings by Gaiman hardly about art at all, it is mostly about reading, children, communication, ideas, creativity, and… well… life!
4. Why I signed up to run a half marathon

The surprising thing is that we live our short runs as if that isn’t true.
– Seth Godin, The long run (and the short runs)
