Thirty years of Radiohead’s pictures, made by keeping things: a dummy in a hospital basement, a scanner with no undo, war snow, LA road signs, a flood and a book from 1493.

Stone on mud, in salt water. How Venice was built on what nobody sees: timber piles, squares that drank the rain, and an architect who let the high tide inside.

Before the Feed there was a red envelope. How Netflix moved the distance between a film and its audience, from the post to the pipe to the doorway, and what got lost on the way.

MTV’s final music-only channels are gone, but the ritual of watching music videos doesn’t have to disappear with them. This RIOT Journal article explores what was lost when the curated channel gave way to the algorithmic feed, and why AltSounds TV exists as a human-led alternative built for discovery, context, and culture.

Last night, I saw PRESIDENT live in Amsterdam. Not just a band. Not just a show. It felt more like walking into a temporary state. A rally. A ritual. A reminder that creation, when done with intent, still bends reality in small but meaningful ways. The room was packed. Sold out show, max capacity 350 people. Flags waved. Symbols everywhere. A masked figure at the centre of it all, pulling the crowd into something that felt larger than music. Less “concert,” more collective agreement that we were all here for the same reason, even if none of us could quite articulate it yet. “You’re about to witness history” over the speakers. Tonight, everything lined up. And when you’ve been doing creative work long enough, you learn to pay attention when that happens. Twenty-two years isn’t an accident The venue was celebrating its 22-year anniversary. 2026 is also the 22nd year that AltSounds still breathes life into its unique form. Stronger, more creative than ever. AltSounds, for context, is the original creative outlet of RIOT’s founder and creative director, MUG5. It’s where I first learned what it meant to participate in culture instead of just consuming it. Where I got my first […]

Content used to feel like discovery—now it feels like survival. As platforms worship retention, brands flatten nuance, culture loses texture, and creativity gets engineered for the pulse, not the mind. This is the attention crash—and the way out is intention, craft, and making work with teeth again.

Brands don’t grow from decoration. They grow from disruption. This guide unpacks what creative agencies really do — and why the right partner changes everything.

Meet President—the mysterious band blending Fightstar energy with Sleep Token aesthetics. Here's why they’re the future of masked rock.

Marketing is moving in a new direction. People care more about honesty, fairness, and how companies affect the world around them. That means brands can’t just focus on selling — they have to think about how they act, and what they stand for. More and more, customers are choosing businesses that try to do better — whether that’s using less waste, treating workers fairly, or being open about how things are made. And that choice matters. According to the BBC Global Minds Sustainability Survey, 78% of people say a clear commitment to sustainability makes them value a brand more. 74% say it affects what they buy, and 60% are even willing to pay more for products that are kinder to the planet. This journal post looks at how this change is playing out — in fashion, luxury, tech, and beyond. You’ll learn why brands are starting to care more about sustainability, and how agencies like RIOT are helping them take action in real ways — not just say the right things. At RIOT, we’ve worked with brands like Coachtopia — Coach’s sustainability-focused label — to create work that feels honest, fresh, and forward-thinking. From design choices to digital campaigns, we’re […]

Explore how David Bowie redefined art, music, and identity with his fearless creativity. From his collaborations with legends to his personas like Ziggy Stardust, Bowie’s influence spans generations.

New York City hums in the background, a pulsing heartbeat as timeless as the art within the MET’s storied walls. On a quiet afternoon, I wander through the halls, eyes drifting over centuries of masterpieces, not yet realizing I’m about to stumble upon something that will shift my creative universe. I’m here to soak in inspiration, to get lost in the kind of art that breathes life back into you. I roam freely, letting my curiosity guide me. I find myself standing before an exhibition I hadn’t expected: Alexander McQueen: Savage Beauty. The name, bold and unapologetic, sends a shiver through me and the hairs on my arms stand up. I step inside, not quite sure what to expect but am feeling drawn in by an indescribable pull. As I move slowly from piece to piece, the darkness and individuality of McQueen’s art grips me instantly. It’s like walking through a fever dream—a world where beauty and brutality hold hands, where the fabric seems to whisper secrets from another world. I can’t help but feel a pang of regret, realizing that I’m discovering this after McQueen is gone. I wonder how I hadn’t known about him until now, and I […]
