A [1] video essay about modern art by Jacob Geller. For me, it completely reversed my opinion on modern art and it's worth. This [2] talk about building worlds in Blender by Ian Hubert. [1] [link] [2] [this video]

on HN thread Dynamo Dream – sci-fi short rendered in Blender
This short was written and directed by Ian Hubert, who is an amazing 3d artist. I'm not affiliated in any way, but I'm just blown away by the sheer talent on display here. If you're interested, a few years ago he did a very interesting presentation[] that goes into a bit more detail on his way of working. [] [this video]
Interesting presentation detailing Ian Hubert's way of working.

on HN thread Blender 16yo winner of UK younganimator of the year
Absolutely, which is an enormous well deserved complement! He makes it seem so easy, but he's got a ridiculous amount of skill. He's on his way to giving mind blowing presentations at Blendercon too. [this video]
Mind-blowing Blender conference presentation by a highly skilled artist.
