CAN’T AND WON’T
NEUTRALITÉ : CAN’T AND WON’T par Ying Gao
Étant passionnée par la mode, il était important pour moi de choisir une œuvre qui saurait combiner le design mode et la technologie, j’ai donc choisi un des projets de Ying Gao.
À travers ce projet, Ying Gao explore l'union entre la mode, l'interaction, le design et la technologie. Elle a développé deux robes qui ont la capacité d’interagir avec la présence du public. Les deux robes, « Can't » et « Won’t », sont inspirées par l’esthétisme et le mouvement de la vie microscopique. Grâce aux mouvements robotisés et aux jeux de lumière, une simulation de respiration peut être créée, ce qui offre un va-et-vient entre la réalité et le virtuel.

Lorsqu'une personne commence à s’agiter devant une des robes, celles-ci s’immobilisent, ce qui crée un paradoxe : la robe demande aux personnes d’être calme et dans la retenue pour que le mouvement reste actif. Ce concept permet de s’interroger sur l’hyper-expressivité de notre société.
En intégrant le spectateur comme partie intégrante d'un écosystème vivant, l'œuvre incarne ce qu'Edgar Morin décrit comme l'auto-organisation. Ce projet interpelle sur la nécessité d'humilité et de réflexion face à notre société axée sur l'expression constante.

Microsoft text editor
Tumblr media
There's brief-but-straightforward documentation for Content Editable over at Mozilla Developer Network, and an interactive ContentEditable demo at HTML5 Demos. These features were popular enough, in fact, that they were rather quickly reverse-engineered and added to competing browsers.įor some interesting background on this history, see Mark Pilgrim's " The Road to HTML5: contentEditable" post at The WHATWG Blog. Microsoft included this functionality in Internet Explorer with the intention that developers could use it to develop rich text editors, and they did. Editing Text in a contentEditable Element Users could edit the text within an editable element or page, and the browser also provided API hooks for commands that enabled features like bold or italic styling, adding links, and so on (see Figure 1). DesignMode made the entire document editable, while contentEditable made a specific element (and its child elements) editable. The state of Web content editing changed significantly with the release of Internet Explorer 5.5, in 2000, which introduced the designMode and contentEditable attributes. Later we got the ability to submit plain text back to the server, which might build a new page with the new content. or at least a writer with some technical expertise in HTML markup. Think about it: At one time, content had to be built into a Web page by a programmer. Maybe I'm going out on a limb with this one, but it seems to me that rich text editors represented an important step forward in moving the World Wide Web from a broadcast-oriented, publisher/programmer-focused endeavor to an interactive, content-remixing medium where we can extend and build upon each other's expertise and inspiration.

The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up Review!
Tumblr media
The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up: the Japanese art of decluttering and organizing By Marie Kondo Translated by Cathy Hirano Ten Speed Press, 2014
The question of what you want to own is actually the question of how you want to live your life.
Here we go: let’s dive into the KonMari method and talk about the book that sparks joy! The tiny hardcover has no images, only text, and does stray from the “design” lean of the media I’ve reviewed thus far. However, it certainly is found in the Home section of many libraries, and ultimately does respond to one of my main queries with the DesignMod page, that is: how do we relate to the material objects around us, and how do they relate to us? The space of a home is certainly connected to your heart space and mental space.
Overall, this book gets 5 of 6 joyful geese. Without pictures, I got a little cerebral while reading, taking notes and asking questions like I do when I’m researching for a paper/article. This isn’t what threw me off, however. While Marie Kondo is ridiculously charming and her acknowledgement of the precious relationship between people and our things is truly key (*chef’s kiss), I can’t help but get frustrated at how she talks about throwing things ‘away’. More on this after the positives.
Tumblr media
Many people around the world are familiar with the name Marie Kondo. The first things that come to mind are often a) neat folding techniques, and b) the question, “does it spark joy?”. There are many nuggets of wisdom across these pages. Here are some of my faves:
Do not even think about putting your things away until you have finished the process of discarding.
...we should be choosing what we want to keep, not what we want to get rid of. 
...always think in terms of category, not place.
To quietly work away at disposing of your own excess is actually the best way of dealing with a family that doesn’t tidy. 
The key is to store things standing up rather than laid flat.
The point in deciding specific places to keep things is to designate a spot for every thing. 
Clutter is caused by a failure to return things to where they belong. Therefore, storage should reduce the effort needed to put things away, not the effort needed to get them out.
...arrange your storage so that you can tell at a glance where everything is…
As someone who grew up in the USA, I appreciate the KonMari method’s attention to reducing excess. Kondo also discusses the benefit of individually honing decision making skills as well as the ability to articulate your preferences. Her process asks that you hold each of your possessions one by one, an incredibly intimate opportunity to listen to why you are holding onto it. Being able to do this is definitely a skill; I’m sure you know someone who “loves” practically anything, or perhaps someone who is rarely satisfied. Asking if an item sparks joy is a good alternative to more proscriptive decluttering solutions, which necessitate that you keep a fixed number of items, or that you buy specific items. The KonMari method instead is very subjective, which I think is fab. 
Tumblr media
The book includes biographical anecdotes from Kondo in addition to a detailed explanation of the very specific process that is the KonMari method. She doesn’t shy from bragging about her business’s success, which leads me to my first critique. It must be understood that the KonMari method is heavily branded. She is a true phenomenon, starting from working with clients in Japan to a series on Netflix, a collection with The Container Store, and beyond. The website includes items like storage bins that one should purchase for a tidy home, even though her content suggests using old shoeboxes. This is something that she has worked very hard to develop. I think this book is a good resource for people wanting to learn about Kondo’s story as well as the particulars of her approach to tidying. However, I can’t help but notice capitalist vibes in how much is being sold. 
My main critique lies in the discussion of waste, or lack thereof. It is positive that the method focuses on deciding what to keep in contrast to what to get rid of. The process is definitely more joyful that way. However, a huge part of the excess we possess is the excess we discard. We can consume so much because it’s so commonplace to throw things away, whether it’s because they are broken or because we now like something else. I’ve learned a lot about the institutionalized systems profiting off of waste production from the Slow Factory Foundation. Simply “recycling” or even “donating” items does not assume much responsibility, especially because many items designated for ‘charity’ end up in landfills, burned, or shipped to poorer countries to deal with.
Maybe you’ve heard the term fast fashion, which refers to business models in which inexpensive clothing is produced rapidly by mass-market retailers to keep up with trends. These systems exist in the Global North and usurp communities in the Global South by ways of landfills, under-paid labor, and general pollution. In many ways, the production behind any home item has become fast. Ask yourself, “how many items do I own that I can name the person who made it?” It’s a tough question for the average American. I’m Italian, and the situation there is similar, although home spaces in Italy are much much smaller. 
I’m curious about the perspective on waste in Japan. Kondo developed her method when working with Japanese clients, primarily middle-aged, professional women. My point with this criticism is simply a worry regarding people living in the Global North who are less invested in minimizing waste, that they will take this book and discard things without acknowledging that there is no “away” when you throw something out. Kondo briefly touches upon how discerning what sparks joy should also be considered before buying anything after the big tidy. Nonetheless, I wish there were more consideration of class and economic status, that for many people with limited resources, they don’t have the luxury of getting rid of things they simply don’t like.
Tumblr media
Once you learn to choose your belongings properly, you will be left only with the amount that fits perfectly in the space you currently own.
Overall, the book is very helpful and easy to read. Kondo’s approach is clear but also subjective, an excellent recipe for a deep transformation to restore balance and harmony in the home. 
With loving curiosity,

Bonjour à tous,
Depuis quelques temps je me suis penché sur le cas Balmain et je me suis rendu compte que l'on ne connait pas beaucoup se couturier, et le peu d'informations que l'on trouve sur lui sont presque toutes les mêmes sur de nombreux site quasiment à la virgule près ! Et c'est là que l'idée de faire se format de vidéo m'est venu.
je suis très content de vous présenté un nouveau format de vidéo, un peu plus divertissant que de simple DIY, ce qui peut être intéressant pour les passionnés de mode ! Cette vidéo retrace la vie, la création de la maison, l'après, de Pierre Balmain.

The Pouch, Daniel Lee pour Bottega Veneta, Printemps 2019. 
“Après l’annonce du départ de Tomas Maier de Bottega Veneta, qui est resté à la tête des collections pendant 17 ans, la maison italienne annonce aujourd'hui son successeur : il s’agit du Britannique Daniel Lee, 32 ans, jusqu’alors Directeur du design prêt-à-porter chez Céline. Diplômé de la Central Saint Martins, il a fait ses armes chez Maison Margiela et Balenciaga, avant d’entrer chez Céline en 2012. Comme l’indique le créateur via un communiqué : "Je suis à la fois très honoré et très enthousiaste à l’idée de perpétuer l’héritage qui a été bâti chez Bottega Veneta au cours de ces cinq décennies. Tout en préservant les codes qui font l’identité de la Maison, l’artisanat, la qualité et le raffinement, il me tarde de contribuer à son évolution en y apportant une nouvelle perspective et ma vision de la modernité."”, Vogue.

Got inspired to redesign @embiggen these last couple days (as I also got remotivated to focus on my fitness levels.) Although I liked all the designs, ended up going with the bold simplicity of the last one in the series. #logodesigns #logos #logo #logodesigner #identitydesign #branding #redesign #newlogo #newlogos #newlogodesign #graphicdesigner #graphicdesign #brightcolors #technicolor #embiggen #logoexploration #workinprogress #followformore #newdesigns #designmode #brandrefresh #behance #logodesignlove #designlogo (at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania) https://www.instagram.com/p/ByG9_dlA0WP/?igshid=4rvw9kw7b535

The New Bohemians Review!
Tumblr media
The New Bohemians: Cool & Collected Homes By Justina Blakeney Photos: Dabito Abrams, 2015 
This year I am committing my exploration of interior design books to non-white authors. I noticed that last year I reviewed media only authored by white women. The industry in the US is dominated by this demographic, but that doesn’t mean that there aren’t any other voices to be heard! Justina Blakeney describes her multiculturality through her parents: her father is African American and Native American of the Cherokee and Chickasaw tribes; her mother descends from Eastern European and Jewish peoples. Blakeney is one of many talented creatives, and I look forward to correcting my narrow view and sharing her work.
Tumblr media
The New Bohemians depicts a design and lifestyle that is truly cool and collected, as the subtitle suggests. This heavy hardcover is full of vibrant photographs and just begging to find home on a coffee table. The organization of the content is smart and neat, and the details are creative and inspirational. Bohemians is a personal collection, an anthology of select homes and their residents. I really liked this book, and with one tiny critique, I rate it 5 of 6 free-spirited geese. 
Tumblr media
In her introduction, Blakeney vividly describes the philosophy behind the book and the new bohemian style she captures within it. I appreciate how she first roots the conversation in the roots of 19th century French bohemia, in which artists and other creatives would reject bourgeois standards for cheaper Romany housing and impassioned investigations of beauty. When I hear the word “bohemian,” I personally think of the region Bohemia or Čechy, today a part of the Czech Republic, from which many different peoples have been displaced. Regardless, I was pleased to hear that there was substance behind her understanding of the word, too often appropriated simply as eclecticism by those who never confronted poverty or never thought about rejecting convention. 
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The book is organized into “types” although Blakeney insists that there are no boxes. I wasn’t bothered by the sectioning, I think it’s helpful to readers who may have approached the book with certain design-terms in their minds, or perhaps for those already nuanced with the style and looking to articulate their own working vocabulary. The six iterations are: modern, earthy, folksy, nomadic, romantic and maximal. Each features 3 or 4 homes, a sampling of photos and testimonials, objects and stories behind the lifestyle. Residents’ names, occupations, ages, zodiac signs, and spirit plant or animal are shared. (I don’t know if spirit beings are a part of Cherokee or Chickasaw culture, but I always hesitate when these words are used, for fear of appropriation.) Blakeney also includes short DIY tutorials and other resources such as a plant dictionary.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
The overall collection successfully defines Blakeney’s concept of “new Bohemian,” which exists at the intersection of play, creativity, resourcefulness, layering, and a strong sense of freedom. I only have two minor critiques. 
Firstly, the narrow geography of the homes surveyed. Los Angeles boasted 8 homes; there were 3 in Portland, Oregon; 2 in Manhattan and 1 in Brooklyn; 2 in Venice Beach, CA; and one each in Las Cruces (NM), Dallas (TX), as well as Joshua Tree and Berkeley (both CA). I wish Blakeney stated explicitly that the homes featured would be only from the US-- although even then, a huge acreage remains untouched. All of these cities host a lot of wealth, except for perhaps the two in the desert: Joshua Tree and Las Cruces. Even with an intended American audience, it’s important to not assume that the US is the default.
Tumblr media
My second note is on the description of the objects of the home. Of course, being about decor and design, the book includes examples of possessions that particularly suit the new Bohemian style. It may have just been evident in the people Blakeley interviewed, but I’d be good if I never had to read the word kilim again (as beautiful as it is). At first, it was cool to hear about different types of textiles and other pieces from around the world, including: Mexican sarapes, Turkish fouta, Bengali kantha, Central Asian suzani, Indonesian ikat, and Japanese shibori dyeing and boro textiles. But then these italicised ‘exotic’ pieces were paired with West Elm and IKEA in the same sentence. I guess everyone traveled to the same places and got the same thing. Especially Morocco: there was a Moroccan table, Moroccan kilim, Moroccan pouf, Moroccan basket, and it kept going. Again, maybe those selected for the book all met in Morocco, and so of course they would all have things from there. One person conducts her business with Berber women. It still felt weird to hear the same materials in each home, as if they were products for consumption, rather than personal mementos. I wonder if we would have gotten a different perspective on these remarkable artisanal pieces by showcasing them in the homes of their indigenous creators, or at least by those with ethnic, geographic, linguistic, or familial connections to those places. 
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Ultimately, I did enjoy the book a lot. I personally walk the line between collecting and hoarding, and I understand the importance of having physical things in your home, the impact they have on your mood and outlook. Bohemians does an excellent job of showcasing this design aesthetic in its many wonderful variations, incorporating elements of lifestyle, thus making the connection between people and space that makes home.
With loving curiosity,

@celebkiriedhel @cidira (AKA my two tech support angels lately!)
celebkiriedhel replied to your photoset “Am I going crazy?!! As you can see from the photos above, I’ve had no...”
try removing the walls away from the stairs, and then putting them back once the stairs are laid.
I am pretty sure I tried that (could be remembering wrongly because I tried about a million things) but I know for sure I did try building the same stair configuration in the middle of the room with the walls at least one tile away or more, and it still didn’t work there. :/ I’m going to keep trying but it’s just so strange to me that it worked so easily before, I didn’t even have to think about it. I will try and get some more screen shots of what doesn’t work, to see if it twinges anything for anyone that’s not clear to me.
Also, on the issue I had earlier with the thumbnails on my recolours not working, alt-right clicking didn’t help it, so I’ve deleted the DesignMode thumbnail you suggested and next time I load up my game I will see if it works! Thank you for all your helpful suggestions!
cidira replied to your photoset “Am I going crazy?!! As you can see from the photos above, I’ve had no...”
Have you tried placing them in the opposite order, first the stairs down from the second floor to the stage, then the shorter stairs down from the stage to the first floor? I haven't built anything in a while but I think I remember needing to do it that way?
I did try this, no luck either :( Thank you for the suggestion though, I’m trying everything at least three times lol.
