Personal photography. Not about photos, but about creating a world by perceiving it. Also, a call for self-publishing and exchanging ways of seeing, among friends.
Speaking
A lengthy conversation for and with Are.na, relating psychological idiosyncrasies to creative practice.
Web Design as Architecture is a small thing. It is little more than a thought. A collection of thoughts, maybe, holding just enough matter to form a vague approach. Still, it has informed our practice over the years. It became one of the elements we chose to emphasize when incorporating as a company.
Writing
I contributed a piece called Opposing Convenience to Mouthwash Research Center's inaugural MWRC Annual Findings report. My research takes the shape of an Are.na channel and includes a non-linear mosaic of original pieces, interviews (with, amongst other, Anne Levy, Charles Broskoski and Errolson Hugh) as well as assorted moods and vibes.
It argues against the fallacies of convenience and the responsibility of designers and engineers to oppose the often inhumane and culturally bland interests of economic entities.
Despite the above, it's a fun read, trust me.
