Sunny Friday: “Design is about cultural invention”
Friday, July 17, 2009
Well, I’m back home in Brooklyn after a truly amazing month on the road. I’m still processing everything I saw—in nature and in myself—and thinking about options that hadn’t occurred to me before. Changes are afoot in so many different areas—work, home, and even in the way I think about the world. My urge right now is to clear the decks for what’s coming next and to absorb as many new ways of thinking and relating as I can. As always, I will do my best to share this with you on The Sunny Way in hopes that my experience and ideas might be useful to you.
To that end, today I’d like to share with you a presentation by designer Matt Webb, in which he explores what it can mean to be a human being right now. He believes that our special superpower at this point in time is to participate in cultural creation in a way we’ve never been able to before. I can’t say too much more about it, because he covers so much ground so beautifully. Do yourself a favor and watch this today! It will change your weekend and, possibly, the way you see yourself in general.

this was Amazing Megan. he’s made the ability to invent culture doable by scaling it down into a sizable action, 100 hours of 8 hours/ week, for 12 1/2 weeks. I have a few ideas of my own I’m considering for creating into this project.
Great presentation. You can get a better look at the slides here.
