Brilliant and somewhat unsettling joint exhibition of Dix’s illustrations and Jim Broadbent’s sculpture in Hay-on-Wye at The Table Gallery. Take the kids, they’ll love* it. #hayfestival *or have nightmares. www.thetablehay.com/dix-jim

As Hay Festival opens today I’m reminded of a quip from someone in the gents toilets there a few years ago. “You know it’s Hay Festival cos the piss smells of asparagus.” #hayfestival

Guy Debord’s best-known work, “La société du spectacle” (The Society of the Spectacle) (1967), is a polemical and prescient indictment of our image-saturated consumer culture.

The spectacle can be found on every screen that you look at. It is the advertisements plastered on the subway and the pop-up ads that appear in your browser.

This is such a brilliant and loving portrait of the photographer Tish Murtha. I'd often seen her photography but knew next to nothing about her life. Communities tell their own stories best and Tish was a perfect chronicler of a left behind generation

Tish Murtha used her camera to celebrate overlooked working-class lives and to fight for social change in 1980s Britain. Her daughter, Ella, uncovers her poignant story.

Before chatting about Art Deco on Front Row I took myself on a bit of a walking tour. This is probably the most Deco building of Manchester: Express Building,Owen Williams 1939. Imagine what a novelty this was after heavily ornate Victorian and Edwardian style.

Despite some things appearing to be going down the pan, on a personal level I’m certainly more optimistic entering my 50’s as opposed to my 40’s.

Not sea glass but fragments of plastic car tail lights, indicators and brake lights, probably washed into storm drains after heavy rain, eventually making their way to the sea. #oceanplastic

THE BLACK TOWER (1987): Channel 4 aired John Smith's stunning 'architectural horror' short about a mysterious black building which follows a man wherever he goes. A metaphor for depression, it's in the same 'once seen, never forgotten' category as La Cabina.

Yes, they can make robots that replace workers, but until they make robots that buy the useless crap that they produce, I don't see much point.

I’m not kidding: those who delegate all their writing, thinking and creative expression to machines are going to wake up one day and discover that they can no longer write or think. You need to make your own art. You need to keep your brain working. You need to stay human.
