The footage was grainy – it was night-time somewhere in Queensland and the streetlights weren’t the brightest – but I could make out Louis and his travel companion Asher throwing what looked like a rolling pin at a collection of numbered wooden skittles.

Musicians are accustomed to getting paid each time their creative work is used. Across vinyl/CD sales, streams, radio, cover versions, and those numerous niches like karaoke, there are agreements in place about what “use” means. Underlying this is a simple economic principle: The more something is used, the more money it makes. Generative AI has complicated the definition of use . On the one hand, you could argue that the use of a piece of musical training data happens just once, at the point of training. On the other hand, creators would be right to complain that the creative essence of their work lives on in the structure of the model, used every time the model produces an output. Now, companies like Sureel and SoundVerse are working to re-create the essential economic principle that motivates creativity in an era of AI.

‘I wanted to celebrate the women who are reinventing morris dancing. They took me to a pub and gave me a pickled egg mashed up in a packet of crisps.

An older organisation, the Morris Ring, didn’t allow teams with women to be members until 2018 , yet today women account for more than half of Britain’s Morris dancers. As soon as I heard about Boss Morris, the all-female side in this picture, I wanted to shoot a portrait of them. I was keen to celebrate the evolution of this traditional form of dance by focusing on young women who are both honouring and reinventing it. When they appeared on stage at the Brits with the band Wet Leg, who I was working with at the time, I thought, “It’s meant to be! If I don’t do it no

He was, with Tim Head, the British representative at the 1980 Venice Biennale, and a participant in the Arts Council exhibitions The Condition of Sculpture (1975) and Nature As Material (1980). Nick, who has died aged 77, would test his materials to the edge of destruction, taking, for example, pieces of Bath stone up to their shatterpoint in Mr and Mrs Arnolfini (1978). If he had added one more gram of weight or degree of slope to his 1.8 metre high Leaning Chalk (1975), the work would have collapsed.
