Best of the web: a whole host of internet goodies

This week was officially the start of autumn, so while we prepare for joyous leaf fights, conker bashing and kitsch knitwear, top off the fun with a wonderful edition of Best of the Web. We’ve gathered together a whole host of internet goodies including words of wisdom from Frieze, Vic Reeves exploring dadaism and a website that helps you decipher whether your new logo looks like genitalia. For some extra entertainment we’ve also suggested a few people to follow on social media.

I’ve only just come across this podcast called The Things That Make Us by Zoe Laughlin, who runs the Institute of Making at University College London. She interviews people like Tim Hunkin and Zandra Rhodes about five objects that have inspired and influenced them. (Jenny)

Four animators were invited to Laika Studios in Portland to create short animations inspired by its recent feature film Kubo and the Two Strings .

This site let’s you check if your new logo looks like genitals with www.genitalsornot.com . It was set up in response to so many logos from big organisations looking sexually suggestive including Airbnb and Trump’s campaign logo. (Beccy)

Jim Moir, AKA Vic Reeves, explores the origins and meaning of Dada in this BBC4 show that features the likes of Terry Gilliam, Martin Creed and Armando Iannucci. Inevitably, it gets quite silly . (Owen)
