Confessions of a Designer - Quotes from the world of design (by Anneke Short )

All of these.

Might I add two of my personal faves?

“What. Pay you for a simple illustration? Can’t you do that, like, in between your other drawings?”

- Fuck you?

“I have a friend who has a friend who knows someone who would do this for free, you know?”

- Then let that person do it for you because I definitely won’t.

I know all of these painfully well. :T Design work. Lulz.

To all my ex bosses and people who hired me at any given time. Print this on your toilet paper, it’s the only way you’re gonna remember it.

Fuckin’ THIS and THAT and ALL THE ABOVE.

Fuck people. Go do it yourself. Oh wait, you can’t, because you are a talentless piece of shit when it comes to art. THAT’S RIGHT.. THAT’S why you came to me in the first place. Eff u.

PRETTY MUCH

Marina Abramović, “Rhythm 0,” 1974

Marina Abramović is best known for her performance pieces, in which she tries to explore what is possible for an artist to do in the name of art.  Her best known piece was the recent “The Artist Is Present,” in which she sat motionless for 736.5 hours over the course of three months, inviting visitors to sit opposite her and make eye contact for as long as they wanted.  So many people began spontaneously crying across from her that blogs and Facebook groups were set up for those people.  

Her bravest piece, however, is my favorite.  This piece was primarily a trust exercise, in which she told viewers she would not move for six hours no matter what they did to her.  She placed 72 objects one could use in pleasing or destructive ways, ranging from flowers and a feather boa to a knife and a loaded pistol, on a table near her and invited the viewers to use them on her however they wanted. 

Initially, Abramović said, viewers were peaceful and timid, but it escalated to violence quickly.  “The experience I learned was that … if you leave decision to the public, you can be killed… I felt really violated: they cut my clothes, stuck rose thorns in my stomach, one person aimed the gun at my head, and another took it away. It created an aggressive atmosphere. After exactly 6 hours, as planned, I stood up and started walking toward the public. Everyone ran away, escaping an actual confrontation.”

This piece revealed something terrible about humanity, similar to what Philip Zimbardo’s Stanford Prison Experiment or Stanley Milgram’s Obedience Experiment, both of which also proved how readily people will harm one another under unusual circumstances. 

This performance showed just how easy it is to dehumanize a person who doesn’t fight back, and is particularly powerful because it defies what we think we know about ourselves.  I’m certain the no one reading this believes the people around him/her capable of doing such things to another human being, but this performance proves otherwise.   

No, I totally believe this could happen, and I kind of hate my life for it.

This.  We are so. messed. up.

‘Dead Astronaut’ Wooden Sculpture by Brandon Vickard

This is cool.

This is cool.

This is cool.

This is cool.

count the shadows

who turn off the lights ?

So does it actually have more than one shadow or is that just me.

it does have more than one shadow, but that’s just because it’s being illuminated by several lights??

Yes, yes it does. When an object blocks out several light sources, it creates several shadows, as seen here.

hey, who turned out the lights?  hey, who turned out the lights?  hey, who turned out the lights?

RGB Carnovsky

“RGB is a work about the exploration of the “surface’s deepness”. RGB designs create surfaces that mutate and interact with different chromatic stimulus. RGB’s technique consists in the overlapping of three different images, each one in a primary color. The resulting images from this three level’s superimposition are unexpected and disorienting. The colors mix up, the lines and shapes entwine becoming oneiric and not completely clear. Through a colored filter (a light or a transparent material) it is possible to see clearly the layers in which the image is composed. The filter’s colors are red, green and blue, each one of them serves to reveal one of the three layers.”

I want this print, guys.
