left hand blogging

starting today i'll (if in the office) left hand blog. it's not an experiment, just the logical thing to do when right hand has beautiful cast just to hold my broken fingers in a steady position.
maybe the quality of the posts is going to change.
at least there is going to be less text.

francais?

no garbage bins, horrible street signs.

stolen?

inspired?
wooster published something about one nike ad saying that is stolen.
well.we can have a huge talk about inspiration, and nothing new.
can you own an idea? maybe someone from the agency who did it saw robin's photos.it happends with a lot of ads.but when you think of it, the creatives in agencies are not some geniuses that have instant brilliant solutions.they are normal poeple.that go to exhibitions and see movies.the happiness factory( coke) resembles to me with charlie and the chocolate factory.is it stealing?
or is it just another perspective on things?
kill bill says that tarantino likes japanese animations, and that he saw al least one mathew barney exhibition and that he saw a lot of discovery channel.is it stealing?
somebody said at one point that all the ideas that we can think of have been thought of and all the images that we can see were seen before.so there's nothing new.
i think i have to read again bourriaud's postproduction.

kids creativity education

Going back to last week.The napoleons in bucharest.
At one point there was a design test.Given some materials we had raise a self sustainable structure that would put the marshmallow highest possible.20 spaghetti. 1 m of tape.1 m of dental wire.(mint) and a marshmallow.
Teams, complicated or simple structures, measurement at the end.
The best part comes when russell shows some pics with kids who took the test.They raised beautifull structures.They cheated by asking for more spaghetti or more tape.They tried more than 2 times to raise the thing.Funny but no one from the audience thought of even asking for more materials.Our team asked if we could cut the marshmellow in pieces and use it for the structure, but that's not cheating cause we didn't cut the marshmellow.
Got me thinking about how kids react and communicate.
And then i found this lecture about educating creativity.At some point ken robinson says that we grow out of creativity.I tend to say that he is right.
And after this i go to russell davies and find his kid reading a book.His reactions to drawings are so fresh and unexpected.
No conclusion or something.Just got me thinking that there's something about kids that we're completlly missing.

it's a clothes shop and it's not sexy at all.

recycling culture

i could write about the last 2 days.
been invited to the napoleons descent in bucharest.thanks bogdana. i can try to summarize the experience. but maybe i'm not going to do that.
a lot of questions popped in my mind while the napoleons napoleoned.
besides their presentations and sometimes stupid questions from the audience i really liked what russell said about blogs and how they teach you skills. i really liked a lot of things i heard. nothing new. besides that planners should learn how to edit a video.
got me thinking about recycling culture. postproduction, creating content and meaning, building trust and being onest and funny, blogs, kids, design and the list can go on.
maybe later i'll come back to this decision and tell you more.
