Clicks of the Week

no. 20 | 2026

Hello fellow Clickstars!

Another week of beautiful, authentic content put on chain — and this one travels far. From the turquoise shallows off the coast of Sabah, Malaysia, through the roaring stands of São Paulo's Nubank Parque, past a graffiti wall in West Vancouver and the retro-futurist silhouette of a Mexico City telecom tower, all the way to a musician's desk in Villa Elisa, Argentina — five very different corners of the world, five moments that are now certifiably real, signed and sealed inside the Digital Trust Network exactly as they happened. Together, we keep building the most trusted image archive in the world — your Clicks are the lighthouse of truth in a sea of AI-generated content, and united we make a difference.

This week's selection

Where: Sabah, Malaysia

"Wherever there is a channel for water, there is a road for boats." – Leonardo da Vinci

AFFANDYFAIZ opens the week with a window onto one of Southeast Asia's most remarkable seafaring cultures.

The scene in this Click — shot from above, looking down at a cluster of slim wooden canoes pulled up alongside a jetty — was captured off the coast of Sabah near the Semporna archipelago, where the Coral Triangle delivers water in that particular, unreal shade of turquoise that makes you double-check whether the photo has been edited. It hasn't. The people paddling those canoes are almost certainly Bajau Laut, part of the broader Sama-Bajau ethnic group, often called "sea nomads" or "sea gypsies," who have navigated the waters between Sabah, the southern Philippines and eastern Indonesia for centuries. Traditionally, many Bajau Laut families spent more of their lives afloat than ashore — living on lepa houseboats, following seasonal fish migrations, and reportedly feeling physically unwell when they stayed on dry land too long. Scientists have since confirmed that the Bajau have evolved measurably larger spleens, a genetic adaptation that gives them longer dive times and makes them among the world's most accomplished free divers.

Even today, despite increased settlement in stilt villages on islands like Mabul and in the harbour town of Semporna itself, a sizeable community still earns a living from spearfishing, lobster and octopus hunting, small-scale seaweed farming, and exactly what is shown here: paddling up to dive resorts and jetties with canoes loaded with fresh coconuts, shells and seafood, trading with visitors while children balance on gunwales or slip into the water as if born to it. Once a year, this everyday intimacy with the sea explodes into something spectacular: the Regatta Lepa in Semporna, a state-level water festival first held in 1994 and now a nationally recognised cultural event, when dozens of traditional lepa boats arrive from islands across Tun Sakaran Marine Park, transformed into floating artworks with carved prows, coloured flags and dancers performing the igal-igal on deck, competing for the title of most beautiful boat.

On ordinary days, though, the ritual is quieter and wholly practical — a tiny floating market on a Monday morning, in a part of Sabah where the line between "street vendor" and "sea nomad" is literally just the edge of a wooden hull. AFFANDYFAIZ froze one of those moments and, in doing so, opened this week's journey perfectly.

"The more difficult the victory, the greater the happiness in winning." – Pelé

From Malaysia's floating markets to the loudest football cauldron in Brazil — this Clickstar drops us straight into the roar of Nubank Parque on a Tuesday night.

The arena you're looking at — floodlit pitch glowing synthetic green, 40,000-plus bodies pressed together in green and white — is the home of Sociedade Esportiva Palmeiras, known to its own fans simply as "a nossa casa." Built between 2010 and 2014 on the exact footprint of the historic Estádio Palestra Itália (which had hosted Palmeiras since 1917), the ground opened on 19 November 2014 and has gone by several names: Allianz Parque for its first decade, and from 2024 onward Nubank Parque, following a new naming-rights deal. Regardless of the sponsor on the fascia, locals call it "Parque" — full stop. The club itself was founded in 1914 by Italian immigrants in the Perdizes neighbourhood, and the stadium sits in that same district, so match day still feels like a homecoming rather than a trip to a modern entertainment venue.

Palmeiras come loaded with history. By 2018 they had become the first Brazilian club to win ten national top-flight titles, and the last decade has added Copa Libertadores crowns in 2020 and 2021 — the first two Libertadores trophies in the club's history, both won in the pandemic era, and both celebrated inside this ground with scenes that will appear on Brazilian highlight reels for generations. Pelé himself once described the torcida alviverde as one of the most passionate in the country, which is saying something in a nation where football fandom is a form of religious practice. On big nights, fans create enormous mosaics across the stands and sing the club anthem at full volume before kick-off, each section with its own repertoire of chants and gestures that date back decades. This Click, taken just after midnight, captures the architecture of all that feeling: floodlights on, crowd locked in, the pitch the only thing that matters.

Where: West Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada
Feed: Street Art

post image
"Graffiti is one of the few tools you have if you have almost nothing." – Banksy

NEODEGEN brings the week to midpoint with a wall that earns a second look.

The piece in this Click — bold wild-style lettering wrapped around two grinning cartoon characters, stars scattered across every surface like confetti — was photographed in West Vancouver, a municipality that has been deliberately leaning into murals and street art over the last decade. The District's Community Murals Program actively encourages artists, property owners and young people to collaborate on large-scale public works, arguing that meaningful art deters tagging while giving neighbourhoods a visual identity that no developer's render can replicate. A 2021 initiative produced several standout pieces, including Tyler Toews' enormous image of Lions Gate Bridge arcing through a three-dimensional heart at 15th and Clyde, and the Fantuz siblings' nostalgic Odeon West Vancouver cinema mural set in 1977, which locals quickly adopted as a shared memory board for first dates and childhood Saturday matinees.

The energy spills across Burrard Inlet from Vancouver proper, which spent the better part of the 2010s becoming one of North America's most mural-dense cities. The Vancouver Mural Festival, founded in 2016, seeded more than 400 works city-wide — from Salish Sea-inspired conservation pieces downtown to nostalgic portraits in Mount Pleasant — before winding down after its final edition in 2024. In 2025 the Astro Arts Festival picked up the torch with a three-day urban arts block party that included live mural painting, graffiti jams, DJs and markets, explicitly framing itself as a new chapter for the city's street art culture.

The characters in NEODEGEN's Click — playful, cartoon-influenced figures that clearly enjoy the company of whoever designed them — are part of that living conversation on the walls of Metro Vancouver. On a random Wednesday in May, this piece is simply waiting on a side street for someone to walk past, look up and hit "Click."

Where: Mexico City, Mexico

"Every act of communication is, in some way, an act of courage." – Paulo Freire

FAMMMG shares one of Mexico City's most under-the-radar landmarks — and it was there before the internet.

Shot from street level with the camera angled upward, this Click shows the Torre de Comunicaciones Telmex, a concrete-and-steel telecommunications tower belonging to Teléfonos de México — the company that for decades carried the country's phone traffic before fibre-optic cables rewrote the infrastructure map. Completed in 1968 to designs by architects Héctor Mestre and Manuel de la Colina, the tower rises roughly 100 metres (112 metres including the antenna), its shaft tapering through a series of ribbed concrete floors before opening into a crown bristling with round microwave dishes. For much of the late twentieth century those dishes formed part of the backbone connecting Mexico City to the rest of the republic, carrying long-distance calls, broadcast signals and early data links. The base and attached blocks are back-of-house: switching centres, technical rooms and offices rather than public counters — a building whose most important work has always been invisible.

Telmex carries a surprisingly vivid piece of urban folklore. In Guadalajara in 1950, engineer Jorge Matute Remus proposed moving a Teléfonos de México central building sideways by twelve metres rather than demolishing it to widen Avenida Juárez. Over four days, the entire structure — 1,700 tonnes of it — slid along tracks while operators continued working at their switchboards inside and telephone service never stopped. A statue in Guadalajara still shows Matute apparently pushing the building by hand. The story is told whenever Mexicans talk about how deeply telephone infrastructure is threaded into the fabric of their cities, and it casts a certain warmth over a building type that would otherwise attract no attention at all.

In Mexico City's current skyline, the tower is a retro-futurist relic — a concrete mushroom of satellite dishes standing beside billboards advertising fibre-optic speeds and streaming packages from the same corporate family. On ordinary Thursdays it is just background noise. But when a march or a festival floods the surrounding streets, thousands of people stream past it while, overhead, the antennas quietly keep every call and message moving. FAMMMG caught it on one of those ordinary days, and that is somehow the more interesting portrait.

Where: Villa Elisa, Buenos Aires Province, Argentina
Feed: Music

"To play a wrong note is insignificant; to play without passion is inexcusable." – Ludwig van Beethoven

The week closes with this Clickstar loading up on new picks in Villa Elisa — and a weekend full of music waiting on the other side of the door.

What fills the transparent tray in this Click — picks sorted by gauge and colour, Stagg Classic labels visible on the larger ones, a bottle of string cleaner creeping into the background, notebooks and coffee cups just out of focus — is the unglamorous infrastructure of musical passion. Villa Elisa is a leafy locality within the La Plata metropolitan area that has quietly built a small but active ecosystem of cultural spaces: the Biblioteca Popular Alejo Iglesias, MACÁ Cultura and the Casa de Cultura Villa Elisa all host regular workshops, concerts, theatre shows and community festivals where local musicians and artists get genuine stage time. On any given weekend you might find a milonga like "El Amarre" mixing live tango with social dancing, a poetry night pairing readings with guitar tributes to Lorca and Machado, or a neighbourhood theatre staging classic Argentine plays that revisit the immigrant stories that shaped this corner of Buenos Aires Province.

There is a deeper context humming under this image. Buenos Aires Province is one of the cradles of rock nacional — the distinctly Argentine rock tradition that emerged in 1960s basements and underground rehearsal rooms and eventually produced some of the most important popular music in Latin America. Guitar mythology runs through those streets like water through a culvert: the notion that every great album, every late-night session, every legendary riff started in a room that looked very much like this one, with a tray of picks and a couple of cold beers and nothing yet decided. Buenos Aires Province also hosts "Música por la identidad" concerts, neighbourhood ferias and outdoor festivals where local talent moves from rehearsal rooms to real stages, and the cycle begins again.

So the Click captured more than tidy accessories. On a Thursday evening in May, that tray of picks is a quiet promise: sooner or later, every one of those small plastic triangles is going to translate into a riff, a tango phrase or an off-mic jam that someone in Villa Elisa will remember for a long time. AFFANDYFAIZ started the week on the water; this Clickstar ends it in a way that is just as elemental — with the tools of a language that needs no translation.


Final words

This week's edition traces a route that couldn't be more varied: AFFANDYFAIZ opened from a floating market in the Coral Triangle, handing off to a local Palmeiras faithful who plunged us into the roar of Nubank Parque, then NEODEGEN pulled us into a Vancouver side street where cartoon characters hold court on a wall, FAMMMG paused the journey in Mexico City to look up at a tower that kept a nation connected before anyone had heard of the internet, and a Villa Elisa musician closed things out with a tray of picks and a weekend of music ahead. Five countries, five moods, five moments that are now on chain exactly as they happened — no filter, no fabrication, just the world as it actually looked in that split second.

That's what the Digital Trust Network is built for.
