Hello,
This is another issue of Finding Beauty, a collection for the curious, the self-motivated learners and the explorers inside us all, edited by Antonio, our Creative Director and Head of Storytelling.
If you want to contribute by pointing out all that you find beautiful on the Internet, send an email with your findings to findingbeauty@imille.agency.
And remember, you can catch up on all beauty captured in the previous issues here.
Ready to go back to school?
So let's go back to the apocalyptic images of principals and teachers dressed as Marty McFly, as he tries to convince his young dad to take his young mom to the prom, in the guise of a Darth Vader who looks more like a Walter White ante litteram.
Let's go back to the hashtags #backtoschool and #backtooldschool (for fathers with copywriter ambitions who want to feel (s)c(h)ool) and photos accompanied by deep posts, whose language sometimes denotes the need for parents to go back to school too, and whose only deep thing is the body of water in which their Narcissus drowns.
In short, we all go back to school. Except you, eternal students of beauty, for whom the lessons are never finished.
This week our Top 5 offers you the music class, the art class and the photography class. I hope they will all give you the effect of a long recreation. Take a seat on your individual benches, put on your masks and sanitize your hands, but even more, your spirit.

SLIGHTLY GLOBOSE BELLIES
When I started as an intern, I was asked to undergo the ritual (but the first for me) medical examination at work. The report said "slightly globose belly". In a nutshell, the doctor was telling me that more than a six pack I had a single piece, with a fairly convex shape. I took it very badly, until I realized that most of my department had the same sentence in their reports.
But looking at Daisy Collingridge's works, I think that there are bellies doing worse than me. Her intertwining fabrics, materials and globose limbs are on the verge of disturbing, but perhaps this is the reason why they are very communicative. Daisy is now part of this collective of artists whose goal is simple: to push textile art beyond the boundaries we (and our scales) have set.

THE FIRST SEASON, OF A MUSIC ALBUM, ON YOUTUBE
This sentence makes actually sense.
The Gorillaz started the year with the first episode "Momentary Bliss ft. Slowthai and Slaves" of a new project called Song Machine.
Now they have arrived at the sixth episode of this ... series? Album? How else can it be defined?
Noodle, 2D, Murdoc and Russel have visited Morocco and Paris, London and Lake Como (not to mention the Moon) and are now ready to release the entire collection, titled Song Machine: Season One - Strange Timez, out on October 23.
Song Machine is a constantly evolving process in which the Gorillaz have collaborated with many big names and the result is a collection of 17 songs that span a myriad of sounds, styles, and genres with the contribution of Beck, Elton John, Robert Smith , St Vincent, Unknown Mortal Orchestra, Skepta and, of course, Tony Allen. And on December 12th and 13th, Song Machine Live will be held, played for the first time on LiveNow in three different time zones.
Maybe I'm wrong, but something tells me that the way music is produced, communicated and distributed is about to change once again.

THE ORGASM GASP
Yes, you read that correctly.
Among the many types of gender gap, now there is also that of the orgasm.
No, we are not yesterday-years-old and we certainly didn't just now discover that chromosomes XX and XY have a different sexual biological approach and purpose, which often leaves them out of sync, but there is a brand that felt that this deserved to become a territory of
Did the sudden interruption bother you?
Well, now you know what it feels like.

NOT JUST AN OPERA
He has become famous for the wire mesh architecture, capable of reproducing ancient masterpieces that have been lost, such as the paleochristian basilica of Santa Maria di Siponto in Apulia, Italy.
Now, Edoardo Tresoldi, after his experiences in Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Dubai, Coachella, Paris and Arte Sella, comes back to his roots and creates a new permanent installation in Italy.
Every time I see his works, I am left with the fascination of seeing the unfinished finished, together with a strange melancholy in seeing that art seems to arrive where institutions do not.

NATURAL MEMES
Did you know that there is a Comedy Wildlife Award? And did you know it's crazy cool? These photos are - it should be said - of a natural irony. They are basically memes that just wait for the pun. It must have been a little less fun for photographers to capture these moments, lurking in the bushes to the point of mirroring animals’ expressions.
There is not much more to say, except that this is the best thing that has happened to me this week.
