000043 - no strings attached (part two)
my life and times at the agideas design event 2004 continues. wish this was more like ferris beuller's day off, but what the hey...
(i was just browsing what i written for my part one entry and boy did i ramble on! talk about the kettle calling the stove black or however that saying goes. i'll try to be more concise this time around)
day two
same time. same channel. the programme looked even more diverse today compared to yesterday. we had mike finch, creative director of circus oz (very funny and amazingly the way he designed a circus show related to bits of how one would design a website; loved his comment about "if you can't make it good, make it funny and if you can't make it funny, make it fast") , to performance artist jill orr (we crudely dubbed her "the meat lady" afterwards; i thought i didn't understand post-modern sculptures, i understand/appreciate performance art even less), to a software programmer, daniel visser (started off intereting but rambled on, like i'm doing again).
anyway, to summarise, the highlight of the day (and perhaps the entire event itself at this point in my opinion), is delaware, a japanese supersonic group that music designs and designs music. i'd suggest you check out their site because i don't think any of my description can do them justice. the talk was very very funny and engaging about the marriage and evolution of art, design, cartoons and music all together. i really like their music which i somehow have a feeling i've heard of before (maybe from the dreamcast game jet set radio? must research...)
masato samata, the art director of delaware said at one point (and i'm paraphasing), "if tv took a day off broadcasting, perhaps those who are less sexually active would be more sexually active...". cracked me up.
all this text is making my blog very boring looking. so i'm gonna stick one of my favorite things to photograph, sunsets, here :
