In the Lab

putthison:

Since folks keep asking: yes, a second episode is on the way.  It’s been shot, and Adam is in the lab editing it right now. 

Because you have been so patient, I will reveal its subject: shoe care.

Mouthful Of Diamonds - Phantogram - Eyelid Movies

all of these best of lists that happen at year end are great for finding new music. this is a artist i’d never heard of until i saw David Noel’s list

Be thankful for your good health because you can’t buy it nor does it come gift wrapped in a box.

End of 2009

The self-referential design discourse goes way deeper than we ever thought. We tried to research and understand the dynamics that make designers disconnect with the social and cultural (of course political) effects of their work. As authors they feel a deep connection with the design artefact.. but, the big majority, not with the cognitive, structural dynamics that their work and everyday (design) practice and actions help to (re) produce.

We have come a long way and we will continue to research design (among other aspects of public communication, of course) in the future.

2010 will be a great year. Memefest reader of seven years of research, creation, subversion will be published in a few months. 8th festival is being prepared, a workshop/conference/networking/exhibition/public intervention event is planned too. Lot of reasons to finish the year 2009 with a smile.

We wish you peaceful Holidays and may be year 2010 a creative and meaningful one.
