anthropocene
How can we rethink our responsibility in the Anthropocene? What does it mean to design for the anthropocene?
How does design based on open data and DIY (do-it-yourself) approaches, participatory and critical design methodologies, and humanitarian engineering, differ from cybernetic and technocratic dreams of control of complex systems?
What is the role of artistic interventions, philosophy of technology, Science, Technology, and Society studies and other disciplines in influencing and reflecting upon these design ambitions and practices?
How to reflect upon and how to experiment with the various relations between food chains, social networks, and ecologies above and below that of the human body?

rubbish waste and time event as waste collecting
object has had its day time ran out / finished? dead? ended? throw away? when time runs out, there can be a change change of object into artistic, political, symbolic object
wasted objects disclose ways of living, paints the environment it was in is there intrinsic value to waste objects? what are the possibilities to these discarded waste objects?
my work/exhibition as a way of designing an experience of things, time, stories? our mundane objects as a way to looking at our relationships with our possessions, the environment,
a wasted object also reveals time passing. time has past…. time as finite object. physical material as also finite.
so the concept of wasting an object also automatically organises, divides and distributes our time.

As a designer I call for honesty on product's aesthetics, I tend to like things that don’t hide their nature. Same with 3DPrinted objects, I like the texture and finishing of additive manufacturing, specially FDM
Planck's principle is the view that scientific change does not occur because individual scientists change their mind, but rather that successive generations of scientists have different views.
Science advances by discovering new things and developing new ideas. Few truly new ideas are developed without abandoning old ones first
Our tastes fluctuate. Techno-determinists believe that technology in all its myriad forms influences and alters our cultural values.

I’ve been so overwhelmed with work lately that it almost passed without a note here. Thank you to: Chris for collaborating with me on this, Gavin Suzanne and May Leong for initiating this project and working tirelessly on it, my Dad who helped make sure the work arrived on time in Singapore, Akeelah Bertram for her narration, and thanks to everyone helping to set up the work in Singapore in my absence.
I recently read a coffee-table neuropsychiatry book (completely forgettable) which happened to have a story about a man who was diagnosed with a neurological disorder that presented itself both as amnesia and also a tendency to confabulate stories about what one had been doing, even if one had not done those things. For me, what was most interesting was the fact that it was difficult to elucidate whether there was a direct connection between the forgetting and the confabulation of plausible but inaccurate memories. It was suggested that it was by way of compensation that one tries to fill in the gaps in memory by confabulating plausible story lines.
Like most people, I am fond of having a tipple from time to time. I don’t drink a lot these days,
The secret is where alcohol is concerned, I’ve learnt over the years that sometimes even a normal drink
I am easily prone to anterograde amnesia - an inability to store memory things and events, despite the fact that I continue operating as if I were still there. Debating or arguing about something, writing and drawing logical things on paper, accomplishing complicated tasks involving fine motor skills, exploring and navigating successfully through unfamiliar places. The possibilities are endless!
Chris and I collaborated on the project “TRUTH AS OBJECTS”. Stories of true experiences are narrated from a box overhead, as a box on the ground generates time and location stamps from those true experiences, issuing them as tangible, physical receipts. Divorced from their context, correlations need to be drawn between the clues of time, space and event. But that’s just my version of the story. Maybe Chris can tell you another one.
making adventurous constructions a real possibility for the future.

Great interview, I couldn't have been so patient on hearing those kind of answers, immediately sets off my bullshit meter. I'm sorry but homeless people with living in a tent city made of 2nd hand bits and bobs does not an "eco village" make.
Watching this is like accidentally starting a conversation with a crazy homeless person on a park bench and then patiently nodding.

LIES! LIES! What this article does not tell u is that after you switch to a standing desk, four days later you will find yourself using it in the sitting under desk position. I was forced to write my entire dissertation whilst sitting under the table because I had so cleverly thrown away all the chairs!
Without using an anti-fatigue mat or some sort of foot mat I would say the transition would have been impossible, as some foot and leg pain is most certainly inevitable whilst switching to a standing desk.
I think instead of the woman taking her husband's name when they get married or doing the hyphenated thing Couples should just smash their last names together So like if a Smith married a Grabowski you could be Smabowski or Grabith or Grasmithski And then as the generations go on the names just get more and more ridiculous Why aren't we doing this

boat
Two men rescued after drifting from Jaywick beach in £9 homemade boat. A daring duo was rescued from the North Sea after they drifted 200 metres from a Jaywick beach in a homemade boat. The small boat, which cost the two amateur fisherman just £9 to build, was made from scrap plywood, laminate flooring, loft insulation boards and wire coat hangers, all glued together with silicone adhesive.
Clacton RNLI's D Class inshore lifeboat was launched to rescue the two men, aged in their late 20s, after the pair called Thames Coastguard for help from their mobile phone at 2.20pm yesterday (April 6).
The pair was left drifting offshore in the "hastily constructed" boat after their oars snapped. They had been trying to make it back ashore at Jaywick's Martello Beach Holiday Park.

phytoremediation Hyperaccumulator plants could be an inexpensive way to vacuum heavy metals from potential farmland, in a process known as phytoremediation. After harvest, chemists could extract the metals from leaves and shoots.

The study involved SAMS scientist Frithjof Küpper, Wolfram Meyer-Klaucke at the European Molecular Biology Laboratory, Ana Mijovilovich at the University of Utrecht, and was led by Hendrik Küpper at the University of Konstanz, Germany. In fact, the work had its roots in a project which had won the brothers Hendrik and Frithjof first prizes at the European Union Contest for Young Scientists and related competitions in 1992. At that time, they had first found Crassula helmsii at a regenerated coal mining site near their German home town, Marl. For the first years at that time and prior to having access to university or institutional laboratories, experiments were conducted in their private laboratory in the basement of their parents’ house.

Thursday, April 07, 2005 Sony Invention Beams Sights, Sounds Into Brain
If you think video games are engrossing now, just wait: PlayStation maker Sony Corp. has been granted a patent for beaming sensory information directly into the brain.
The technique could one day be used to create videogames in which you can smell, taste, and touch, or to help people who are blind or deaf.
The U.S. patent, granted to Sony researcher Thomas Dawson, describes a technique for aiming ultrasonic pulses at specific areas of the brain to induce ``sensory experiences such as smells, sounds and images.
``The pulsed ultrasonic signal alters the neural timing in the cortex, the patent states. ``No invasive surgery is needed to assist a person, such as a blind person, to view live and/or recorded images or hear sounds.
According to New Scientist magazine, the first to report on the patent, Sony's technique could be an improvement over an existing non-surgical method known as transcranial magnetic stimulation. This activates nerves using rapidly changing magnetic fields, but cannot be focused on small groups of brain cells.
Niels Birbaumer, a neuroscientist at the University of Tuebingen in Germany, told New Scientist he had looked at the Sony patent and ``found it plausible. Birbaumer himself has developed a device that enables disabled people to communicate by reading their brain waves.
A Sony Electronics spokeswoman told the magazine that no experiments had been conducted, and that the patent ``was based on an inspiration that this may someday be the direction that technology will take us.
