Chaos versus Cosmos

-> Chaos versus Cosmos

I like chaos very much! I can´t help it! It´s may be the memory of my messy room when I was a girl and I leant my snack on the Divine Comedy letting the jam spread on the Beatrice´s beauty. Or it may be because – sticking to the point - I like to think at mankind as the daughter of a primordial jam. That´s why I prefer chaos to cosmos. Fo...

-> Examination day at Centro Formazione Pordenone. The creative works in focus

Today is a big day for the students of „Methodologies of creative graphics“ at Centro Formazione Pordenone. It is examination day! And as in these hours big reviews about „how did the year turn out“ have been made, I would like to join and keep writing on our blog about the experience started exactly three months ago when we met in occa...

Arts & Business/Kosmos & Chaos

Magazine -> #7 Chaos

Mikael Strandänger is CE of Arts & Business Sweden. The firm’s very name sums up its vision and mission in its pursuit of reconciling two apparently antithetical worlds. How, it may be asked, can two realities, one of which, according to common lore, is the epitome of order as much as the other is of disorder, possibly co-exist without c...

The twenty senses

Magazine -> #21 Senti-mentally

Design starts with sensation. The senses, both visceral and intuitive, play a major role in the process of making a designed environment. Whether the result is order or chaos, the designer must think and feel using every part of the mind and body. Graphic design is not about following templates or formats (though so much of it is), rather it’s mo...

Everywhen

Magazine -> #25 Innovage

I’m a believer in the “I” words. Ideas, Intuition, Invention, Inspiration, innovation… and now… Innovage. Add vintage to innovation and you’ll be time traveling, speeding back to the future. This implosion of past, present and future is what the Aboriginal people of Australia called “the Everywhen.” It was, and is, timeless time. Th...

The world is ruled by chaos

Magazine -> #17 Serendipity

“The world is ruled by chaos. The unforeseeable lies forever in ambush” (publisher’s note). It is only after suffering great pain and distress following on an unexpected discovery beneath the blue cover of a notebook or experiencing great fear after a hearty laugh elicited by a scene in a silent movie has faded away that the lives of the lead...

City, an opportunity to be seized

Magazine -> #19 Aequòpolis

A thousand futures, each one unique. In my view, the big mistake that is currently insinuating itself is the idea that every kind of growth is parallel to another kind. This is part of a semantic confusion affecting all languages nowadays. Today, there is no single language which has the courage to re-evaluate itself completely. Town planning is...

#7 Chaos

#7 Chaos -> Magazine

Whenever I think of the word “chaos” the first thing that springs to mind is when I can’t find a document in my office, or the car keys at home. But no sooner do they turn up that I’m already telling myself that after all my disorder is only a very idiosyncratic sort of order. In ancient Greek philosophy Chaos was used to refer to the disor...
