Link outward first
Every entry should make the original source the first-class destination. The page exists to point people toward creators, not trap attention locally.
Creative Radar
Point to the work. Do not pretend to own the work.
Creative Radar is the permission-first curation format for artists, videos, interactive pieces, and experiments we want to champion. The rule is simple: link outward, embed only where allowed, and keep a visible correction or takedown path live from day one.
No rehosting by default
Embeds only where allowed
Public takedown route
01
Public rules
The non-negotiables.
Embed sparingly
Platform-native embeds are acceptable when the creator and the platform settings clearly allow them. If there is ambiguity, do not embed.
Correction route stays visible
A creator should be able to request a correction, removal, or licence clarification without digging through a maze to find the route.
02
Content model
What each entry needs.
- Creator
- The person, studio, or collective behind the work.
- Work title
- The title or descriptive label that helps someone find the original piece again.
- Source platform
- Where the work actually lives: YouTube, Vimeo, Behance, a personal site, or another public platform.
- Source link
- The canonical outbound URL for the original creator-owned surface.
- Editorial note
- A short reason why the piece matters so the directory has taste and context instead of becoming a list dump.
- Tags
- Medium, mood, technique, and toolchain tags to keep the index browsable without mirroring the media itself.

Pilot state
What is live now.
Artist slots open
No public artist entries are mirrored here yet. The pilot stage is about getting the rules, tags, and takedown route correct before any public intake goes live.
No copied thumbnails by default
Editorial note required
Video path is clearer
The safest starting point is creator-owned or platform-native embeds from services that already expose public embed settings, with clear attribution and a visible outbound path.
YouTube or Vimeo where permitted
No silent reposts
