Do you have 10 minutes to spare?
One of my students is looking for volunteers to test their thesis prototype! The project is called “Stories Apart,” a platform for oral storytelling aimed at creating a safe, inclusive online space to share meaningful stories with a chosen community. You can help by visiting → kdoesdesign.github.io ←
If you don't have the time to participate, consider sharing this link with your followers, friends, or family! The more responses they collect, the more inclusive and user-friendly they can make the site!

Thanks. Onto the collection.


MM017 was collected over May and June of 2020 — now coming at you in April 2021. Frankly, I have no memory of collecting any of these documents this time around... But! in looking back into the folder, woah, there are some cool things here. There is a lot here about sustainability in art and design; some old and new ideas around climate change; some alternate takes on design history and aesthetics; an old essay of Buckminster Fuller's; Some thoughts on "Mediatization" and "Time" in understanding design and formalisms; and some other general things that fell into my lap while looking around this great big wide world web … whew.

So! Get to reading, and as always, let me know what you found interesting.
