  • Engineers tend to get trapped between their calipers. They need to look holistically at the entire package. They need to play with things and think about their meaning and purpose. They need to analyze their decisions in the context of the human experience. They need to be free to experiment without technical restraints so they can push against the boundaries of what’s “possible”. Art is fast and fun. Design is smotth and calculated.

    This guy is the perfect example. He gets this “great idea”, mills up a giant block of aluminum, spends 10 days faffing around, then throws it in the bin and starts over. Dude needs to sketch some shit and play with cardboard and clay and get his thoughts together before running to spin up his favorite tool.





  • No, I’ve only ever heard things like that in a comedy sketch making fun of art. I guess I went to a better art school than you. Was your award given by journalists or artists?

    • none of those things you said were criticisms, they were all commands. That would never get said at an art school because they couldn’t give 2 shits what you hand in because it’s all about how you defend your bullshit art in a critique.
