"The “content” is nothing more than “I saw my friend at the grocery store” and “why is everybody but me so stupid?” and “I am watching this show on TV.” They don’t even try to disguise it as content."

IA Summit 2012 Video: Discussing Design - The Art of Critique

I’ve probably thought about the distinction between feedback and critique at least once a day since seeing this presentation in person, and it is making a LOT of work things easier. Video is not high quality, but the info sure as hell is.

At this year’s IA Summit my fellow Mad*Powian, Jamie Thomson, was kind enough to record the talk that I gave with Aaron Irizarry. If you were at IAS but didn’t see us, now’s your chance. If you weren’t there, well, why the heck weren’t you? It was awesome!

Have a look!

"Every creative act is open war against The Way It Is. What you are saying when you make something is that the universe is not sufficient, and what it really needs is more you. And it does, actually; it does. Go look outside. You can’t tell me that we are done making the world."
