I’m absolutely befuddled and intrigued at these new fangled “accessories”. I still don’t quite understand… WOW.

Mark Garry in Pittsburgh
As I was in Pittsburgh over the past few days, I went to the Mattress Factory (art museum) (check out their blog) with my fiancé, Tara. Several exhibits were currently being built, so our range of work that we could see what limited. As we went to explore these exhibits, we caught the elevator with one of the artists who was working his own exhibit. The wonderful artist from Ireland, greeted us and offered to give us a peak at his work. Obviously, we graciously took him up on his offer. We got to see him building one of his rainbows of thread and then divulged in a short, but very nice, discussion of the meaning behind the material and how the piece interacts with the viewer. However, since Mr. Garry is concerned with the subjective experience, I’ll leave it up to you to decide what you think.
Here is an example of his work.
Hillman Curtis’ Documentary on Sagmeister’s Exhibit
This film is extremely insightful and revealing towards the thinking behind Stefan Sagmeister’s work along with the perspectives of others. Some of the interviewed include Milton Glaser, Massimo Vignelli, and Debbie Millman. See it here
jkaczmarek: Nicest portfolio interface
http://jkaczmarek.com/ this guy has the best interface for a portfolio I have ever seen. From accessibility of the navigation to the atmosphere created by the white bleeding background and motion to feel like your actually flipping through his work. What a great way to display your work. This is a canon of what a design portfolio should perform like. Well done without feeling over-designed. However, I’m not sure how well it fits on a 1024×768 resolution screen.
Stefan Sagmeister exhibit coming up
Stefan Sagmeister has become of the most influential designers of our time. Bridging the gap of art and design his heavily conceptual works display his brilliant diaristic mind at work. I really wish I could make it out there to see this exhibit.
