So I've resurrected the platform as a static archive site & written up a comprehensive history...

love this overview of Honor's work; a narrative arc two decades long that lands so elegantly it might seem carefully worked out in advance; yet in a practice of art+research the roles of intuition/curiosity/serendipity/holding nerve when things don't _yet_ make sense!/ is most intriguing of all!

Design and Disability opens today at the V&A! We’re so happy to share it with you all. Disabled, Deaf and neurodivergent people and their companions go free. www.vam.ac.uk/exhibitions/...
A row of brightly coloured posters against a white tiled wall. The posters say ‘Design and Disability’ on each left hand bottom corner. On the left lime green poster, a photo of Davina Starr, a member of drag syndrome in a white wig and bright make up under a spotlight. The central light blue poster has a black and white photo of Marvel Harris wrapped in a towel emerging from the sea. The right pink poster is an image of Sky Cubacub in a pink binder and dragon scale headdress.

SXSW is coming to London from 2-7th June, and its exactly as you might expect: Expensive, AI, NFTs. I propose FKFJ: The exact opposite of SXSW, on the same dates. An distributed affordable community thing across London, about technology, music, and art. No central org. Just put on an event. Yes?

I wrote an article for The Modern House where I put together ideas showing how the Energy Performance Certificates could be even more useful to people looking for a new home. Homes that are more efficient are also cheaper to run, and will have lower CO2 emissions. 🧵
