@bradleyandroos So glad. For many years that kind of work was a lifeline for me — and remains a big source of imaginative nourishment.
@natematias I’ve just gotten to Cornell years. May have to make a trip to visit the papers collection.
@bradleyandroos If you don’t already know it, you might also enjoy the long inheritance of that tradition among the projects beautifully collected in Living As Form
@patrickrhone These photos are incredible. First trip?
@isaacgreene So beautiful! Thanks for posting.
@lukemperez @dwalbert It’s one of my faves too. Still can’t fully account fully for why it’s so powerful.
@mwerickson A course I’ve taught for many years now (though only included the film for a few of those)— Investigating Normal: Design and Disability. History + disability cultural studies meets design research. A seminar for design majors, making the long case for close attention to texts. We’re now heading into bioethics, selective abortion for disability, assisted dying, plus Han’s Burnout Society and then we’ll end with Never Let Me Go.
@JohnBrady Very well indeed, as usual. I told them about you saying this to me, and one woman beautifully expressed how fundamentally artful it was—an artifact where disability was present.
@mwerickson Assigned it again this week for class <3
@Miraz ❤️🪶🪽
@tinyroofnail Loved this so much.
@JohnBrady Big time. I only teach awareness media to alert students to the explicit message-y nature of it. More time spent seeking out the conditions of art where disability is also present.
@mwerickson Also making sure you’ve seen Sound of Metal.
@ChrisJWilson Yes! So much to disentangle and explore. My dialogue partner is a philosopher of emotion, thank goodness.
@JimRain Oh man, I also adored Vanya on 42nd St. @mwerickson
@mwerickson Wish I could hear it!
@joshuapsteele yessss
@gregmorris Try the folks at IHCD Boston?
@isaacgreene Group bike rides = in my top five family pastimes ever.
@mwerickson Without thinking too hard about it: 1) The Conversation, absolutely masterful performance by Gene Hackman, excellent sound design, and I saw it in Paris with my husband in the early aughts. 2) Fast, Cheap, and Out of Control really showed me what experimental documentary could be. 3) Maria Full of Grace with its absolutely perfect ending. 4) Children of Men for delivering sci fi in the exactly right mix of domesticated futures and uncanny change. And 5) The Beat that My Heart Skipped for its quintessential French precision: small-but-big story, magnetic lead.
@joshuapsteele Oh man, been there. They really are building the kind of immunity that holds later on, promise! And surviving all the chaos makes for parents who tend to sweat the small stuff less, I find. Grateful for that permanent perspective shift.
@jaheppler wow!
@patrickrhone So sorry for your loss, Patrick. Nothing like animal witnesses and companions to mark periods of life.
@ReaderJohn Absolutely glorious. Thanks for sharing.
