Designed for the psychological and social implications gained during injury rehabilitation, ‘Idyllic Reflections’ will become part of your daily routine, guiding you through this build up of difficult emotions. The beauty comes from it’s simplistic interface combined with the poetic results. Turn the dial to a point specific to your journey, press the button and receive a small message to read and reflect upon. (via Shaun Patrick Bostock)

The Livehoods Project presents a new methodology for studying the dynamics, structure, and character of a city on a large scale using social media and machine learning. Using data such as tweets and check-ins, we are able to discover the hidden structures of the city with machine learning (via Livehoods)

bobulate:

“We are no longer designers or writers or technologists, we’re creators.”

That’s Barbara deWilde in “Can You Teach Someone to Be an Entrepreneur?”, a response to the class carefully crafted and led @svaixd by Gary Chou and Christina Cacioppo. “Internet School,” or the course, challenged students to use the power of the network to complete assignments, and if tacit responses around the studio were any indication, life lessons.

Barbara confirms:

The lessons from Internet school are life lessons. If I can sum them up I would say they are: 1. The Internet and the emergence of networks have disrupted and will continue to disrupt structures that are hierarchical. 2. Learn technologies and use them to build. We are no longer designers or writers or technologists, we’re creators. 3. Know yourself, have an opinion and share it. You’ll find others like you. Networks aren’t lonely, they’re empowering. 4. There is very little reason to work for others. If you have the skills that make you hirable, you have the skills to create something for yourself, and in turn, for others. 5. Don’t spend all your time refining, get your ideas out there and see if people like them.

The lessons from guests, the lessons from failing in public, and reminders of what learning is for in the first place gave way to a wonderful things. I suspect this is only the beginning.

“A representative from Coke emphasized that the partnership isn’t “an advertising deal.” Fine, call it engagement, or branding, or whatever you want. It’s a way for Coke to get some cool points and it’s a way for Spotify to earn money without forcing users to subscribe.”
