“I just think that going onto the web was so good for me. It’s just sort of starting, but it’s a beautiful world…. I always like random access, and I like the idea that one thing relates to another. And this is part of the internet: It’s so huge, that it is really an unbounded world. And I think…

“Every society is founded on a crime committed collectively, but the deed (the anguish and revulsion it provokes) is subsequently denied by those who most benefited from it. Complicity and denial are constitutive of morality, whose concern for utility is merely there to suture the wound.”

- Sylvère Lotringer, from his introduction to Bruce Boone’s translation of Georges Bataille’s On Nietzsche (via dagseoul)

4D Type, 2011 by Lo Siento from Spain

“4D Typography is the result of intersectioning, in an orthogonal way in space, two extrusions of the same character, which allows the spectator to read it from, minimum, two different positions in space.

An observer searching to enjoy a particular architecture, is forced to move around and through it. The change in perspective generates new spaces in which light acts in different ways. In this case, it is the typography who makes the effort of abandoning its two dimensions to approach the architectural sense. It does not resign with a third dimension; a fourth one is necessary to complete the reading possibilities. By hanging the typography, the reader is allowed to surround the characters in order to understand all their shapes.”

theparisreview:

We meet Mr Messy—a man whose entire day-to-day existence is the undiluted expression of his individuality. His very untidiness is a metaphor for his blissful and unselfconscious disregard for the Social Order. Yes, there are times when he himself is a victim of this individuality—as when he trips over a brush he has left on his garden path—but he goes through life with a smile on his face.

This series of reviews from 2010 is, in a word, brilliant.

Mon, 20 May 2013 08:44:37 -0400

““Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma - which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of other’s opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.” - Steve Jobs”

“I often think that I don’t have a single new idea in my head. But the big mistake is to just wait for inspiration to happen. It won’t come looking for you. You have to start doing something: you have to build a trap and catch it.”

“All I ever wanted to be was bold and try things. Even if they don’t work and it’s an experiment or you’re trying something and it doesn’t work, if people don’t like it, so what? Why does everything have to work all the time? There is merit and beauty in failure. So, I think that’s how I’ve always lived my life.”
