Biophilia: Bjork Visualizes Music : All Songs Considered Blog : NPR
october 2011 by gordonbrander
A great interview with Bjork wherin she discusses the creative process behind the iPad art/vis app that powers the Biophelia project.
What struck me especially is that she values idiosyncrasy itself. I think she sees something uniquely human in the dusty corners of creative endeavors. Indeed, I'm beginning to realize that just as our weaknesses give us character, so also the flaws in a work of art give it humanity.
Sometimes pointless delightfulness is exactly what the world needs.

You can use the tool of Western Civilization and be impulsive and intuitive and emotional -- and that, for me, creates a lot of hope.

Players all over the world played to save GlitchHiker from extinction and failed: GlitchHiker is a game that has gone extinct. Every successful attempt at collecting more than a hundred points restored the games’ system resources globally and every failure slowly destroyed it.
As the game system withered, increased amount of glitches appeared in the graphics, music, controls and gameplay. As soon as the game would run out of its resources, it would go extinct and become permanently unplayable, not just for that player or for a limited time – it would go extinct for everyone and forever.

Frank Chimero: Curation Culture
may 2010 by gordonbrander
On the difference between creation and curation. To read again and consider.
I believe there is value in curation to the level that the curator himself brings to the topic and the purpose to which it is curated. This is why museums are fine (in the sense of fine art) and reblogging useless.
