I’m starting to try and take a break from thinking about building systems for a while. Thinking about other systems and other failures so that I can come back to buildings later when I have a better grasp on what I’m after. So, I’ve been looking at car crashes, dissolving typography, people falling over, the Bay of Pigs invasion, dead flies, and William Carlos Williams (not that he’s a failure but he sometimes writes about it). Here’s a little sample of the broken (?) typography:
I also tried to crush this thingy:
I say “tried” because I failed at crushing it. Thing just fell over. So, I need to stabilize the base and then go at it again with heavier things.
Back onto process though; I’m also realizing that by stopping drawing things I sabotaged my process a bit. I think when I draw. Drawing helps me throw things out there and see what comes back. Yes, the drawings are small and underwhelming, but they are a stepping stone to bigger ideas and bigger things.
And I also need a break. I’m looking forward to taking a little mental vacation in approximately 2.5 days.
Time Log: 19 hours
