Say Something Nice.

I love this. Sometimes I love New York.

Your Design Process is Killing You.

So, here's a podcast of one of the better panels I went to at Sxsw. It's pretty hard to listen to since it was a workshop. But if you fast forward to 47:25 you can here me & Ed's (the guy who i was working with during the session) solution we came up with for a "bad business idea" that we were given.

TEXTile.

Pretty neat.

"In this interactive sculpture, thousands of recycled keyboard keys are embedded into a continuous textile. The keys spell out a line-by-line transcript of the email correspondence between the artist and fabricators regarding the creation of the artwork. As a result, the sculpture documents its own making. Viewers can also type their own messages on the active keys amid the first three rows of emails. These new messages are then projected onto the opposite end of the fabric, thereby continuing the virtual dialogue. The project speaks to the pervasiveness of email in our lives while commenting on the fact that, despite the modern technology of virtual communication, our written language is linked to the tactile sensation of moving our fingers over an outmoded typewriter system."
