“This Japanese Inn Has Been Open For 1,300 Years”
If walls could talk, here are some that I’d want to listen to. This is a slower-paced movie and I think more than anything I was intrigued by the idea of anything lasting for 1,000 years.

Robert Rushkin – The Artist [video]
I saw this video yesterday and was amazed by his perspective. I admire people who are so inquisitive about the world and have what seems like an bottomless well of creativity they reach into to produce artwork. Sometimes it’s hard to remember to take that next step and make the the thing you’re curious about.

For all the language nerds
I found this Merriam-Webster ask the editor series and had to share. So fascinating!

Minka (video)
My friend Zach shared this sweet video with me. It’s about the start of a Japanese architect’s career restoring minkas with his friend, journalist John Roderick. To accurately use a cliché, it’s a beautiful and poignant short documentary in memorial Mr. Takishita’s dear friend. Reading between the pastoral shots, the gleam of Mr. Takishita’s eyes, and warm fingers panning across old photo albums, I suspect you’ll find a meaningful experience.

Denali (movie)
My friend Jackie sent this to me and I thought it was done very well. Warning: it’s pretty sad.

‘How to age gracefully’ video
I came across this video and thought it was such a wonderful idea that was well executed. As a projected, I’m delighted thinking about all the fun the crew must have had meeting all the people and all the good stories that didn’t make the final cut.

Changing perceptions
…literally.
I came across this video post about colorblind man who wears a pair of special glasses from EnChroma that correct colorblindness. It was a lot more endearing than I thought it would be because he’s just so shocked. Can you imagine getting a new spectrum of colors you have never seen before? What an incredible gift.
The video on EnChroma‘s website is pretty neat too.

‘The Kármán Line’ short video
Loved this short video I came across.
It made the wonder how they came up with the story. I like to think someone was just staring up at the ceiling at a patch job, and instead of choosing a boring reason it was patched up, they come up with this idea instead.

Michel Gondry on animating “Why is the Tall Man Happy?”
My classmate shared this interview with animator Michel Gondry with me after I showed part of the final movie (about Noam Chomsky!) for our animation class. I always find the process stories so interesting. And I hope, for my sake as a designer, you do too.

Time well spent
My stupid xfinity internet has been out all week so I didn’t get to post this on time. But I’m my grad studio now so I can post this lovely video about interaction design. I really loved the message of thinking deeply about why we’re designing and what we want to get out of it. I don’t like the idea of people always striving to do things faster and easier and that being the ultimate virtue of a product. If everything is easier or automated, what do we really want to do with our time? How is your ideal free time spent? If it’s laying around then I’m not really that impressed with the prospect. I know from winter breaks of the past that relaxing isn’t as enjoyable when you do it all day….
Sorry that was a weird rant. My point is that I like how this is striving for a more positive future.
