Totally agree. Design carries the notion of project, so in a sense designers literally project an ideal onto the current world. To form such ideal without engaging in politics, or without recognizing how politics shape one's practice is frankly dangerous

“What we put into the world, as action or artefact, is how the world is made. Design is a way of engaging with the greater conversation of how to live together on a planet with limited resources. Design is thus politics.” @mikegallagher.bsky.social

this should be the moment for you all to stop fetishizing a literal company. working at big tech is cringe af now. go read some marx

this is why so many "designers", while claiming to be progressive, has converted to become the guard dogs of fascism (national design studio, palantir product design team, openai design team, etc). if these people lived under 1930's germany, they'd be eagerly designing concentration camps

defending them just because they make eye candies and their products feel smooth and intuitive... you guys are in love with their metaphors, illusions and images. you guys are completely consumed by the spectacle they've prepared for you

a company that has zero problem with child labor, that pushes people to abandon iphones every single year for a new one, that prefers pointless visual upgrades over making their products more sustainable and convivial, should have zero problem with humanwashing tactics and general apathy

they might be a good example for the business world, but not for the design world. so dont be surprised at their lack of care for human dignity, dont be surprised at tim cook bootlicking the sadist maga movement who takes pleasure in gunning down your neighbors

while tim cook is riding trump in the white house, maybe it's time to deconstruct the myth that apple is a good example for the design world: their products are by default ecocidal, their aesthetics do not age well at all, their creative choices are rooted in the racist philosophy of modernism.

i think the "immigration turns high trust societies into low trust societies" people were already on really shaky ideological ground but now they're watching neighbors helping one another and calling them paid antifa agitators

No way we let Sweden get over the line on this ahead of Ireland. Tell your friends. This isn’t just any old petition, this mechanism has EU clout.

Generative AI is not just the instrument and aesthetics of fascism, but it has permanently sewn itself to fascism in a fucked up human centipede of scammers and grifters and guys who've long ago forgotten how to think.

BlueSky won’t let me share the video, but you can see one of the ICE agents rip a gun out of this man’s waistband *before* the shooting starts. From this angle, it’s hard to see how this was anything but an execution, unless simply carrying a gun is now illegal in America.

If you work for ice please understand that your kids will laugh at a character based on you dying in an action movie before the end of the decade. They’ll be in movies for really little kids. Like Phineas and Ferb shit. There will be an action figure of you with a detachable head

It’s been a very hard year - Andy Bell

Unlike a lot of places in tech, my company, Set Studio/Piccalilli has no outside funding. Bootstrapped is what the LinkedIn people say, I think. It’s been a hard year this year. A very hard year...

y'know, if tech companies weren't so fired up to call every single thing "AI" it would be a lot easier to distinguish "ML spam filter that is well-sandboxed and tuned on your emails" from "giant context and IP-eroding foundation model that makes people paranoid and unhappy"

The 100 Series: TouchDesigner Fundamentals – TouchDesigner Curriculum

Talking about tutorials, I recommend following this series first before moving onto advanced walkthroughs that are like 20 mins long on YouTube: learn.derivative.ca/courses/100-.... It will save you guys so much time and energy, and give you guys ideas of what to make with TD!

learn.derivative.ca

The easiest way to break into it is to learn the software with other people. For example if I struggle with a tutorial, my friend (same level as me) would do the tutorial together and we help diagnose each other's problems.

110

I use it most often for visual art 😄 It's normal that people don't really got around to using it because they don't have a specific use case right away. I learned TouchDesigner in school, so I didn't get lost as I have assignments that help me valorise each different part of the software

Most importantly, the Chinese names are homophonous with "Zohran Kwame" when pronounced in both Cantonese (the spoken language used by first-wave Chinese immigrants from the South) and Mandarin (the spoken language used by new-wave Chinese immigrants from the North). What an absolute masterstroke.

“AI didn’t fail. The person who approved this did” Yes, AI can never be at fault. It’s always the human that made the AI make a mistake. Just prompt better and then spend more time in QA! Duh!

there’s really unlimited types of interactions in #touchdesigner

and finally i want to leave this link here as it's a really nice summary of what people usually make with touchdesigner 😄

water level reactive visuals / Arduino + Touchdesigner / interaction

for example, you can plug arduino's sensors into touchdesigner data operators. these sensors then control a visual or interactive output. there are so so many sensors you can play with: temperature, humidity, distance, light, RPM, color, water level (like this video below), etc.
