The object isn’t to make #art, it’s to be in that wonderful state which makes art inevitable. ~Robert Henri #quote
- Hidden pleasure
"…That’s essentialism, Bloom says, and it underscores why we prefer different foods, works of art and people. Everyone, he posits, has his or her own unique emotions, memories and perceptions that endear them to these things.
Bloom spoke to the Monitor about what the latest science can tell us about pleasure and why we humans find it in the strangest things." - BBC – BBC Radio 4 Programmes – Inside the Brain of a Five-Year-Old
Claudia Hammond investigates the latest research into the working of the five year old brain, and asks whether the latest developments in neuroscience might have an application in the classroom.

- Roach Motel | DarkPatterns.org
The ‘Roach Motel’ is a broad category of dark pattern that subsumes most types listed on this site. Put simply, a Roach Motel makes it very easy for a user to get into a certain situation, but then makes it hard for them to get out of it when they realize it is undesirable. Email newsletter unsubscription is a well known example – whereby it is typically easy to subscribe, but much more effort is needed to unsubscribe. This is actually forbidden by the revised CAN-SPAM 2008 rules, but it’s widely ignored.
