Very nice article, very nice video, very nice

concepts, very nice everything

Im going to tell you about why I became a

sculptor, and you may think that sculptors, well,

they deal with metal, they deal with objects, they

deal with bodies, but I think, really, what I careabout most is making space, and thats what Ive

called this talk: Making Space. Space that exists

within us, and without us.

Mural.ly

Today, I was given this link: https://mural.ly/

Something described as: "Capture, brainstorm and

organize ideas with your team. Just like being in

the same room".

I was asked for an interview, hence I used it right

away, to test and check it out.

Very nice tool. I like it very much!

San Francisco, CA, United States

A very interesting article (courtesy of Giannino

Malossi):

We stood in an airy San Francisco warehouse,

staring at two plastic cups of gleaming

mayonnaise.

A golden retriever snored lightly in a patch of

sunlight on the floor as Josh Tetrick, the 33-year-

old founder of Hampton Creek Foods, waited for

me to scoop up the fluffy, effulgent goop with a

chunk of bread. Tetrick's team of food scientistshad tried making mayonnaise without eggs no less

than 1,432 times. This formula was the 1,433rd.

Last night I dowloaded this nice app for the iPad:

PS touch.

It's Adobe's photoshop, tablet version.

Very cool stuff because finally, you use photoshopwith your finger.

I did some tests and experiments.

Then I worked on a specific technique. To use

existing drawings of a project I am working on,and then adding some illustrations/drawings made

by other people.

Ghosts. Comments. Desires. Things I can't explain

in an explicit language.Things I don't even know myself...

Antony Gormley's Blind Light

I have to admit that I have mixed feeling toward

Antony Gormley's works.

Most of them, I don't like or they don't triggermuch emotion or anything in my mind. But some

of them, are really special and I get lost in their

worlds.

In the last days, I crossed ms Emin works several

times.

For strange reasons, at least three people I know,

sent me links related to her. It is always nice to

spend some times in her vicious and fragile

universe. I like.

Hihickster's Illustrations

Today I was (once again) in ceramic world.

Apart from the ceramics (I will report on that

later), I had the chance to spend some time with

Yulya Besplemennova.

She showed me all the tricks she does on her

tablet with Adobe Photoshop Touch.

Very nice images (the one above is an example).Follow her work via Instagram: @hihickster

San Fernando Valley City of Reseda

Thanks to Zahra Zemmouri for the best commenton Design 101:

i was trying to explain to a friend the subject of

the course, how it was organised etc

He had trouble understanding what was the link

with learning about design. After describing some

of our lessons, like how to handle a project,

search, he came up with this comparison:

"So you're like in karate kid when you learn how to

fight by cleaning a car?"

ps.

in case you forgot about the movie, here we go:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yDi3an8WgN4

Crowd Design

I am looking for references and examples related

to "crowd design".

Not crowd-sourcing. Not crowd-funding.

#crowddesign.

I know all I need to know about https://www.

exploitative websites like http://www.

designcrowd.com/

Ofcourse, I know all thedetails about http://en.

What I am looking forare examples of big group ofpeople tackling and/or addressing a given design

Any idea?

The White Paper Version: Crowdsourcing is the act

Crowdsourcing creative work (CCW) is an open call

Crowdsourcing maybe appropriate when experts

are in scarce supply, multiple diverse ideas and/or

contextual insights are needed.

CCW may or may not be technologically enabled.
