Maybe because of Coca Cola's massive Open Happiness campaign for the 2010 Games, maybe because spring has come early and the cherry blossams make everything cheery. I am thinking about happiness. The Happiness Project recounts the author's daily adventures in pursuit of happiness, an instant NY Times bestseller, while the Future Well is a new design firm specializing in health and happiness.

Dr. Ron Burnett, President of Emily Carr University, and former teacher of mine shares his optimistic view of the Literate Future:“The beauty of language is its flexibility and adaptability. The various modes of conversation to which we have become accustomed over centuries have a textured and rich quality that depends on our desire to communicate. That desire crosses nearly every cultural and

Although I am currently away from work on maternity leave, I can't help it. I want to stay involved – observing and participating in this cultural shift we are in, that is becoming ever more obvious. The above image is a slide I put together for Ci and in the background is a gigantic mindmap about sustainability + food. FOOD! From Food Inc. raising questions about where our food comes from,

The Challenge Series tells the story of the people and the work behind the planning, designing and building of Vancouver's Olympic Village. For the past few years, I have had my eye on the site, wondering how it would all unfold, not knowing how involved I would get in learning about the site's history, policies and the development process.

Riddle: What am I? Transparent in a tipped glass, glistening on your lower lip before cascading down your throat, nourishing your cells. Melting off a mountain ice-block, somersaulting over stones, pooling in a mirror form before streaming down your pipes to land splash into your glass.

Spinning off from the last Design Nerd Jam which focussed on the convergence of a green and creative city, our group decided to organize an informal unstructured potluck picnic on the luscious grassy hill beside Science World. Fredrick who I met randomly in my group was keen to help organize and he put together the invitation. I sent out some emails and facebook invites and prayed to the

I was at a party Friday night. It was full of costumes, revelry and merriment. At one point well into the night, we stepped outside and enter into a fantastic conversation about energy. I remember that I could see the nearly full moon reflecting in the window of the house. Djs behind the glass. Dance floor behind the DJ. I don't remember how the conversation even started.

I happen to think this photo is incredibly powerful. An article in the New York Times featured a hand full of contemporary artists who are said to be quietly emerging to stardom, in Beijing. Female artists are nearly invisible in a male dominated force. Brave souls.

Yesterday I went to my first conference as a creative strategist with Ci. Oooooh moving up! PSFK hosts creative idea conferences in cities around the world and yesterday's took place at an old military base near the water in San Fransisco. Many of the speakers focussed on technology enabling community building and one particular speaker from Apple - Chris Riley - spoke of three highly

It was always my intention to keep the RAFT project going after school. It was always my intention to develop a simple design that could be scalable, adaptable, modular and work with materials at hand. I am so grateful for having met the fantastic people at eatART who are now supporting (and storing) this project at the hangar. Our mutual love for the sea as well as things like civil

Ci, the company I now work for as a 'creative strategist' publishes a juicy newsletter called soundbite once in a while that shares some intelligence surrounding the SHIFT Report. I've blogged about it before - What do 5000 main stream North American's think (and behave) around issues related to sustainability and social responsibility. In a nut shell, it's way more than green green

"I Want You To Want Me", by Jonathan Harris and Sep Kamvar, commissioned by the Museum of Modern Art, for their "Design and the Elastic Mind" exhibition. It examines and organizes data from online dating sites and reveals some deep insights into who we are and what we are looking for. Of course, it also shows us how data can be turned into art.:: via Ed Cotton at www.influxinsights.com

I recently saw a Lawrence Weiner (and John Baldessari) show at the Apt. I went with Alex and Katrin which was a treat in of itself. I hadn't heard of either of the artists before this week. It was a private showing so we learned a lot about conceptual art and 'the business of. Alex asks the best questions. And since then (of course) I recognize the names.

Since finishing school I've quickly made the transition to full time at Ci (conscientious innovation) where we have just conducted a comprehensive study across North America to find out what 5000 people are thinking about sustainability (issues, values, barriers, motivations, etc.), the brands they buy and the messaging that comes with it. The most relevant finding (I think) is how people rate

Conceived as a floating structure, built mostly of salvaged materials, the project component of my thesis (RAFT) is used as a way to test and work through the creative possibilities that surround slow design. I use RAFT as a research tool – a conceptual and physical sounding board to uncover and develop a template for practicing slow design. The method was conceived primarily for industrial

Most living things work on some kind of clock: day and night, passing seasons, lunar cycles, rising tides, cosmic alignments, life and death. For the most part, humans experience time and space relative to the Earth, to life experience and span. Fuad-Luke, in his slow design manifesto, outlines six time scales and six units of survival that are useful in understanding the various scales at work

Age, gender, culture all play a role in influencing temporal perception. Jones describes cultures as having a "future time perspective" (a high value placed on distal or future goals) and a "present time perspective" (a high value placed on proximal goals) and argues that the specific demands of the culture one lives in create environments that demand a particular temporal perspective (Jones

Slow design is contextual so its definition changes depending on the scale and situation. To me it means taking the necessary time to consider as many facets around who and what the designed thing (object, system, experience) will effect over time. This includes the environment, the producers and the consumers, in the short run and long run. I am making an effort to expand the time frame in

Durability and endurance imply a passing of time, a duration, but do they imply an end? In a world where the global marketplace thrives on speed and expansion, my research challenges these dominant metaphors by exploring the extent to which design research and activity, specifically of slow design, may energize and contribute to uncovering insight around the relationship between time and

Thanks to Walid for the link to the free documentaries. I watched Century of Self, Episode 1, Happiness Machines. To summarize, it appears that we are all linguistic victims of a few clever and greedy people. The psychology of identity and consumption, needs and desires.Tonight I found this one drifting through design blogs: TheBurg.tv. The last scene in the current episode is hilarious

been thinking more about this notion of the moment. they happen all the time. life is after all an infinite series of moments. i'm talking about the ones that change the way we think and feel. the ones that show us that another world is possible. they can be planned but often i think they happen due to a series of events, thoughts, influences, and of course timing.so i had a 'moment' while

yesterday morning i got up early and spent some time watching Bruce Sterling and TED talks. wasn;t the smoothest stream but it was worth it. got me thinking again how burning man is a festival for the privileged. no doubt about it. we go there, we build it, we tear it down and then we go back to join every one else. point is keeping it local is great but we must!, (rather i don't want to)

Burning Man 2007 was fantastical cosmic dream. Described in three words: another world experience. This years theme, the Green Man asked us to think about our relationship to nature, and then proceeded to bring us a lunar eclipse, a meteor shower and a full on double rainbow which emerged after a severe desert sand storm. Was the weather trying to answer this questions for us? Was it trying to

after a heated class today, I asked Vytas about artwork today that does not resort to creating spectacle in seeking innovation. the reason I'm interested is well the exact same thing must happen everywhere. art design media.. music.. . professional sports. science (bio) technology etc. etc.etc. somebody provocative suddenly 'makes it' and eats cake in front of everyone else. its totally

its funny to learn what people hear about and associate with vancouver who do not live here. mostly, i think, it has to do with our bizarre weather, urban planning, and west coast life style. it was brought to my attention last night that over the next two weeks, the likelihood of our long overdue earthquake is significantly heightened.now here's an opportunity for some what would happen if?

i was happy to feel the rain on my face on saturday. waiting for the bus, i found myself at zeitgeist cafe sipping an americano, enjoying a toasted blueberry bagel and making notes for the week. the rain started at about 11am and didn't stop all day. in fact it is still raining. seattle is a fascinating city. full of past present and future. only the future feels much less certain than what

art is expression through a specific set of skills.art enhances those who create it, and inspires those who experience it.art happens when interior truth meets exterior world.art is always (we think) trying to recreate nature.is this a luxury or a responsibility?art is inviting and has the potential to take you our of (or put you back into) the everyday,and towards a new ways of understanding
