Pure beauty.

“Asobi” was created by art student Yasutoki Kariya for his senior thesis exhibition. Meaning “play,” the installation is comprised of 11 computer-programmed incandescent light bulbs hung from strings. They playfully re-enact Newton’s Cradle, visualizing the transfer of kinetic energy in the form of light. (via Spoon & Tamago)

Fathom created an experimental project using found fonts from PDF documents:

An edition of Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein laid out using characters and glyphs from PDF documents obtained through internet searches. The incomplete fonts found in the PDFs were reassembled into the text of Frankenstein based on their frequency of use. The most common characters are employed at the beginning of the book, and the text devolves into less common, more grotesque shapes and forms toward the end.

• “Don’t think your way to an answer. Discover your way to an answer.”

• “Your first pass doesn’t have to be perfect. It just needs to be directionally correct.”

• “Unless you are generating new data or generating new insights, you won’t be doing something differently.”

• “If you don’t know enough, do it in a way that is small and unobtrusive as a pilot.”

• “Organizations throw their own obstacles in the way.”

• “Organizations are nested. Each nest deals with the problems appropriate to their own boundaries. When a problem crosses boundaries of a nest, there’s a need to move up in the hierarchy of the nests … or else a need to change the boundaries of a nest.”

• “See the problem. Run the experiments. Validate the data.”

• “Identify the problem. Create Experiments. Test the solutions.” (this was a refrain)

• “Knowledge gets shared through communities with shared interests.”

2 hours and hundreds of anchors later… Will try to complete the whole alphabet.

Booger, a funny word. Just experimenting with Illustrator.
