Sorpresa!

Mi sarebbe piaciuto produrre un numero di illywords intitolato “LA SORPRESA!”. Possiamo però riflettere e scambiare opinioni sul tema attraverso il web. Chissà che non si riesca un domani a realizzarlo fisicamente :-) .

Oggi c’è una spasmodica voglia di sorprendere il pubblico, attraverso la pubblicità, attraverso le azioni e le relazioni: non si fa, si stra-fa. Dal mio punto di vista vorrei arrivare a dire che rimanere con i piedi per terra lavorando sui contenuti e sull’analisi del domani in modo professionale  si ottiene credibilità e riconoscibilità . Ovviamente è un mio bisogno e il tema va affrontato sotto più punti di vista.

In realtà quanto dura la sorpresa? E perché ne abbiamo bisogno?

John Maeda

People who have ideas, continually have new ideas. You are better off letting go of your ideas as it means that you no longer have to do them anymore. You are living life in the most efficient manner.

Art Fairs? Impressive

I am right now entering in Arco Art Fair, Madrid.

Have you ever visited an art fair? If the answer is no, then DO IT! You will enter in a never-seen-before world.
An art fair is more than a solo exposition or a one artist’s performance. It is a “cosmo” around which several artists, galleries, interests, hopes and emotions turn frantically…

The Automatic “refresh” button

Issue #14’s theme was “refresh”. As in, the green button with two arrows at the top of Internet Explorer that is going extinct thanks to auto-updating streams. In 2005, to discuss the question of being “always on” was highly perceptive; it was pre iphone and before we could truly speak of being “always connected”. How current is this theme now, and how “right” were the observations made in Illywords back in 2005? Read on to find out…
