Thomas’s notes on the unstudio, I like the honesty that the direction appears to be breaking, it’s something we’re trying to resolve by bringing the making much more into what we are doing and sharing that (which is why thisRead more…
Tidings
Monique on Latour. For Monique the crux is, elegantly, how can we describe things as things. (And presumably that means not as things for us, things that are only equal to what we say about them from one or twoRead more…
Notes from the Side
Isabelle has her three bits of exciting Frankham (Bettina’s a friend of mine, wait till I show her these…) Luke has his. Isabelle has a good potted summary of today, particularly like the observation that we’re making contemporary bestiaries, andRead more…

A Late Blooming
If you’re looking for another way to try to get a handle on where we’ve got to so far. Isabelle has a particularly elegant, compelling, and delightfully visual, explanation. Highly recommended (and well done).
Reflection 01
Monique takes her task of being the reflector in hand. Well done. Making is how to learn to do it and to see if it works. Yep. I’m always surprised at how well acculturated we have become to thinking aboutRead more…
