Colin Doerffler & Caroline aka the best of the best Yuzu at CD HQ for Dot Dot Dot.

Now, we know we’re cool AF at Dot Dot Dot. And it is our beneficiary duty to make you, our reader, subscriber, Dot Dot Dot nation (working title…), just as in the know as our crew is. You are part of the crew after all!!!

So welcome to SOURCE CODE Vol 005 (our running index of the people shaping culture slightly ahead of the moment it becomes obvious). They’re the photographers, designers, thinkers, and operators whose fingerprints tend to show up everywhere a few months later.

We try to connect the dots early for you.

Now, some names you’ll recognize immediately. Some you’ll pretend you already follow. Others will feel like homework, hopefully the good kind.

Nothing here is ranked. There’s no “top,” no podium, no big reveal at the end. Just a collection of references worth knowing if you care about where culture is actually moving. Think of it as source material for the culturally curious.

If you already know half the list, welcome back, if you don’t, even better. Let’s begin.

P.S. Every now and then someone is so in the know that asking them to nominate just a few people feels a bit restrictive. When that happens, we give them a section of their own (like we did with Pam Boy two issues ago).

This time we asked Ira Tassoulis (Louis Vuitton, Global Talent & Influence) who’s currently on her radar. Naturally, she made the list as well… finally.

We’re watching who’s next. Send over your submissions and ideas to dotdottdottmedia@gmail.com and we’ll be in touch…
