Ever get the urge to escape the twists and turns of recent events? Deep in a pine forest in northern Sweden, 7th Room is waiting for you. Snøhetta's latest addition to its breathtaking Treehotel sits ten metres off the ground, offering a bedroom, wood burner and stunning views of the Lapland forest and Lule River. Look at this photo, close your eyes – and we'll wake you up when the inauguration's over… #snøhetta #cabin #getaway #friday #sweden #scandi #lapland #northernlights @snohetta @treehotel (📷 Johan Jansson)
Remember our A Monster Calls post from yesterday? Here's its psychedelic sister image. This Dalí-inspired dreamscape is the same photo – after being run through @Google's Deep Dream project. Deep Dream uses powerful AI algorithms to transform your pretty pictures into stunning – yet slightly disturbing – works of art. Learn more about how AI is coming for our culture in the latest issue of WIRED.  #photography #ai #algorithms #google #deepdream
This big-headed beast (behind JA Bayona) played a key role in fantasy film A Monster Calls. Inspired by the 1933 version of King Kong, director @filmBayona created the huge – and impressively terrifying – tree head to shoot with, combined with animatronics and CGI. Check out the current issue of WIRED for more details about the film's production. #amonstercallsmovie #jabayona #fantasy #cgi #animation #film (📷 @quimvives)
Obsessed with The OA? Captivated by The Crown? Blame this unassuming chap. Ted Sarandos is Netflix's chief content officer, which means he knows what your favourite shows are. This is partly due to the eye-watering amount of customer info that Netflix collects. Turn to the current issue of WIRED to read more about the tastemakers responsible for shaping your cultural decisions. #netflix #tv #film #culture #hollywood #streaming #algorithm #theoa #thecrown #tedsarandos (🎨 @marcoventura)

Have you left a review yet? This is a question academics are being forced to grapple with. That's because the sector is facing a reproducibility crisis. This is essentially a mass failure to reproduce experiments described in scientific papers. The cause? Everything from poorly described methods to data sets going AWOL. Study the current issue of WIRED to learn why academic papers need a better feedback system. @academia.edu #science #research #academics #education #journals
In the current issue of @wireduk, we take a leisurely stroll around Sellafield nuclear decommissioning site, one of Europe's most dangerous industrial buildings. It hosts one of the world's largest inventories of untreated radioactive waste, including 140 tonnes of civil plutonium sitting alongside rusting power stations dating back to the 50s. It's a fascinating snapshot of our Cold War past –  and don't worry, we haven't started glowing… yet. #sellafield #coldwar #nuclear #toolkit (📷 @crudquist)

Simon Green – aka Bonobo – is tackling the theme of movement with an album recorded on the road. Migration, released today, addresses the British musician's peripatetic life - oh, and the music's beautiful, too… #bonobo @si_bonobo #migration #ninjatune @ninjatune (📷 @jaybrooksphoto)
In 2011, Inna Braverman decided to go with the flow. That was the year she co-founded the Tel Aviv-based firm Eco Wave Power. The company makes coastal floats that attach to quays and jetties, using the awesome power of the sea to churn out electricity. This year, it aims to finish the first stage of its project in China's Zhejiang province, which will generate enough energy to power a whopping 50,000 homes. #energy #greenenergy #ecofriendly  #oceans #startups #technology (📷 Michael Fisch)
The UK is bracing itself for the first snowfall of winter, so it's time to summon the Canada Goose Hybridge Perren. Designed for temperatures as cold as -15C, this 800-fill jacket is water repellent, breathable and nice and stretchy at the elbow, wrist and shoulder. Perfect for aprés ski (or just the morning commute) #canadagoose #wiredloves #outdoors #skiwear #snow (📷 @charliesurbey)
This spectacular painting will make you see art in a new light. US artist Stephen Knapp has been physically manipulating light to create ethereal works like this for 30 years. His lightbulb moment occurred when he realised that he could create incredible textured detail in a very unconventional way. The latest issue of WIRED sheds some light on the creative process. #stephenknapp #photography #art #culture #painting #lighting #exhibitions
