Earlier this week I had the opportunity to work at the Eyeo Festival in Minneapolis, MN. Along with a handful of fellow DMA students and faculty, I attended talks by the leading designers, programmers, and innovators about the future of digital culture and met some very exciting people (as well as my former CMU professor Golan Levin). It was without a doubt an elite cast of individuals and I felt privileged to be a part of it all. Till next year.
I’ve finally fully recovered from my vacation to Barcelona with Drew and Kane. One of the first things we did when we arrived was attend OFFF, a new media conference featuring quite the roster of speakers spanning the design industry. But to be honest, the event was a little oversold and crowded. It was hard for us to actually see any of the speakers and we couldn’t help but think that streaming the video from the comforts of our rented apartment would’ve been just as nice.
The actual artwork being shown as part of the OFFFMatica gallery was quite frankly pretty lackluster. Really dated new media “see me now” type of work- you know, the stuff all our professors in art school warned us about. Still, we managed to catch some inspiring presentations and the Stefan Sagmeister talk on happiness was worth the price of admission alone. Check out the main titles by PostPanic posted below. You gotta respect the amount of detail and time that went into this one!
All my pictures looked more interesting with people in them, even if they’re only barely visible.
Pictures of local bars, however, just need a blonde playing guitar.
