Summary:
This book is an attempt to tell a story from the closest point of a source. Before it is supposed to be a gossip. Before the juice is added and still is a bit boring and stiff. When looking up at reliable sources like Wikipedia and Google, the word gossip: ''Originates from God-sib, he Godparent of one's child, referring to a relationship of close friendship'' and it is also: '' An event between loose mouthed assholes, that happens as soon as you get into high-school, and follows you all the way to your death bed. It never ends.'' It is also: '' In it's form one of the oldest and most common means of spreading and sharing facts, with a reputation of errors and other variations'' This we of course found highly interesting so we did this book based on that, about the variations of a story when it comes from the same source. To try it out we asked people from the graphics design department in the Rietveld Academy, to re-tell us a story we are supposed to know better than others.

Summary:
We're filling up the world with technology and devices, but we've lost sight of an important question: What is this stuff for? What value does it add to our lives? So asks author John Thackara in his new book, “In the Bubble: Designing for a Complex World”. These are tough questions for the pushers of technology to answer. Our economic system is centred on technology, so it would be no small matter if "tech" ceased to be an end-in-itself in our daily lives. Technology is not going to go away, but the time to discuss the end it will serve is before we deploy it, not after. We need to ask what purpose will be served by the broadband communications, smart materials, wearable computing, and connected appliances that we're unleashing upon the world. We need to ask what impact all this stuff will have on our daily lives. Who will look after it, and how? ”In the Bubble” is about a world based less on stuff and more on people. Thackara describes a transformation that is taking place now -- not in a remote science fiction future; it's not about, as he puts it, "the schlock of the new" but about radical innovation already emerging in daily life. We are regaining respect for what people can do that technology can't. In the Bubble describes services designed to help people carry out daily activities in new ways. Many of these services involve technology -- ranging from body implants to wide-bodied jets. But objects and systems play a supporting role in a people-centred world. The design focus is on services, not things. And new principles -- above all, lightness -- inform the way these services are designed and used. At the heart of In the Bubble is a belief, informed by a wealth of real-world examples, that ethics and responsibility can inform design decisions without impeding social and technical innovation.

Summary:

Developed in a dialogue among Regina Bittner, Katja Klaus and Philipp Sack (Bauhaus Dessau Foundation) and JJ Adibrata and farid rakun (Gudskul), the publication features a selection of historical case studies, conversations and in-depth reports about education practices in formerly colonized regions, shared by 10 art and design collectives. The publication is part of the Schools of Departure series, jointly published with a digital atlas mapping experiments in art and design education beyond the Bauhaus. By studying these phenomena as manifestations of "traveling concepts," which keep a wide variety of educational approaches in a process of constant exchange and motion, the publication explores routes of appropriation that move between different geographies, times and cultures.
