Stuff I Found Interesting

Why do I feel so white, So I thought to myself this morning. In a white majority country, I feel white this morning, and I started asking why I feel so white. I force my white self out of bed, I stepped out in my white robe, to see what the white sky looks like. Ohh, what a white Monday today is, So I exclaimed when I saw the green grass are now whites, My weather app says today is going to snow white, But my white self-doesn't still get what that means. I am new to seeing every green grass turns white, Seeing everywhere covered in the new colour amazes me, And I cannot seems to remember I have come to see the white sky. Watching the white everything with some iota of amazement, I was so dumb to have seen that the time is fast running white, The alarm sounded, and I realised I just missed the white bus to the station. Ohh, what is a poor black turned white boy going to do, I rushed in, picked my white coat and take my bike with me, I know the day is white already because I will have to ride a bike to the station. Aye, what a coloured day with a white road and a white sky, I know this is not right, but I will have to ride in this whiteness, So I rode my mountain bike straight to the bus stop. How white is your day, I was white - because my day was white. -----Memoir of my first snow experience

This is a relic of the past which plainly tell the tale of how the systems are replacing humans and sadly, some of this prediction is coming alive already with the rise of the machines. Humans can be visionaries and predict the future truly.

Experimental, interactive 3D-system to help create branded and dynamic corporate design- and poster-variations. This will be used in an upcoming festival-series of talks, shows and live-performances focused on the interdependency of humans and machines. Created with three.js. I’ll make a live web-based demo available soon.

Typographic variations will be created by my buddy @tim_rodenbroeker - looking forward to it :)

International Development Shitty Shitter

For heads of state, celebrity activists, and heralded intellectuals—the agenda setters whose  Powerpoints prescribe the policy goals—the distance from reality is even more profound than for low-level consultants like me. For these notables, new hotels and traffic lights are constructed in anticipation of their visits, creating an illusion of progress. To be part of this consulting class is to have what the writer Primo Levi, in his vocation as a chemist, called “ideal work,” where all you have to do is take off your smock, put on your tie, listen in attentive silence to the problem, and then you’ll feel like the Delphic oracle
