• Designing For A More Circular World

  11-06-2019 23:29 via feedproxy.google.com
  “Today’s linear economy is a straight line, no matter how efficient you make it. If you make a car with less material, if you make a car using less energy, you’re still using stuff. You’re still consuming materials. Whereas within a circular model, from the outset you design in a way whereby that product comes back into the system: the components are recovered, the materials are recovered.” – dezeen

• A Case For Cutting Back Our Digital Clutter

  11-06-2019 21:29 via feedproxy.google.com
  By depriving ourselves of face-to-face contact with others, we widen the sea of angst that no amount of “likes” can ever hope to bridge. This phenomenon is borne out by research into college-age students, who experienced a radical increase in anxiety-related disorders around 2011, the same year that smartphones became widely available to consumers and teenagers began owning their own phones. – Los Angeles Review of Books

• A Disaster For Music: How A 2008 Fire Destroyed One Of The World’s Most Important Troves Of Music

Randy Aronson considers that estimate low: The real number, he surmises, was “in the 175,000 range.” If you extrapolate from either figure, tallying songs on album and singles masters, the number of destroyed recordings stretches into the hundreds of thousands. In another confidential report, issued later in 2009, UMG

  As artists grow older they can fall from fashion, but age also brings gravitas, writes Bob and Roberta SmithRegarding Jonathan Jones’s review (6 June) of the Royal Academy’s Summer Exhibition, where he spent a great deal of it attacking me (“the poor person’s [Grayson] Perry”), I don’t really mind.
