    Creative & Academic Director · Stanford d.school Co-authors of Assembling Tomorrow: A Guide to Designing a Thriving Future Today, someone is putting the finishing touches on a machine-­ learning algorithm that will change the way you relate to your family. Someone is trying to design a way to communicate with animals in their own language. Someone is cleaning up the mess someone else left behind seventy years ago yesterday. Today, someone just had an idea that will end up saving one thing while it harms another. To be a maker in this moment—­ to be a human today—­ is to collaborate with the world. It is to create and be created, to work and be worked on, to make and be made. To be human is to tinker, create, fix, care, and bring new things into the world. It is to design. You—­ yes, you!—­ might design products or policy, services or sermons, production lines or preschool programs. You might run a business, make art, or participate in passing out meals to the poor. You may write code or pour concrete, lobby for endangered species legislation or craft cocktails. Wherever you fit in, you are part of shaping the world. This is design work. – Assembling Tomorrow: A Guide to Designing a Thriving Future

    Founding Director · Remuseum Fmr. Director · Speed Museum · Attorney · Co-Founder & CEO · IMC Licensing The opportunity is that we have never had a public that is more passionate and obsessed with visual imagery.

This is the opportunity to say, if you're spending all day scrolling on Instagram looking for amazing imagery, come and see the original source. Come and see the real work.

  • How Do Utopian Visions Shape Our Reality & Future? - Highlights - S. D. CHROSTOWSKA

    How Do Utopian Visions Shape Our Reality & Future? - Highlights - S. D. CHROSTOWSKA
    Jul 25 2024
    Author · Historian · Curator Utopia in the Age of Survival: Between Myth and Politics · The Eyelid · Marvellous Utopia I like to think of utopianism as “effective social daydreaming” because utopia is associated with consciously imagining societies. Our imagination is always involved in creating reality. The opposition between the two, reality and the imaginary, is not a stark one; they're porous.

    Jul 5 2024
    Can silence be painted? How can artists capture interior states, solitude, and the passing of time? How are the homes we live in a reflection of the people who inhabit them? How can we read a painting to piece together the life of the artist?

    DIANE VON FURSTENBERG: Woman in Charge w/ Oscar-winning Director SHARMEEN OBAID-CHINOY
    Jul 4 2024
    Oscar & Emmy-winning Director Diane von Furstenberg: Woman in Charge · A Girl in the River Forthcoming Star Wars film starring Daisy Ridley As a filmmaker, I've always made films about extraordinary women whose lives are faced with extenuating circumstances who've had adversity thrown at them and who've risen to the occasion. And when I began to look at Diane's story, for me, Diane is a fashion designer, but she's so much more. Her central ethos is woman before fashion, and we felt it was very important to take that ethos and weave it into the spine of our film, and make it about the woman.
