The Hovercar Framework for Deliberate Product Design • Lea Verou
https://lea.verou.me/blog/2025/hovercar/

The idea that product (design) teams need a vision to work towards. The examples are a bit outdated (a car and a cruise ship should not be the ultimate goal anymore), but this is something our students should probably learn. And something we, as a school, should do as well?

Hiut Denim | No Growth
https://hiutdenim.co.uk/pages/no-growth

I agree with the idea that businesses do not need to grow. Growth is the ideology of a tumor, of a parasite.

72 Seasons
https://veryinteractive.net/pages/72seasons.html

Wonderful, the old Japanese calendar was divided into 72 seasons, each of a few days. I wonder if something like this could be made for my backyard, for instance.

The role of the University is to resist AI
https://danmcquillan.org/cpct_seminar.html

Excellent lecture about resisting AI.

I want to conclude by emphasising that the proposition that the role of the university is to resist AI is not simply a defence of pedagogy, but an affirmation of the social importance of imagination.

The Terror of Total Dasein | Hito Steyerl - DIS MagazineDIS Magazine
https://dismagazine.com/discussion/78352/the-terror-of-total-dasein-hito-steyerl/

The author writes about junktime, which I think is an even higher step from kairos -> chronos -> junktime. Who was it again who said that Kairos is village life, Chronos is city life, controlled by the clock, and then Junktime might be online life, controlled by ever presence.

Overview ‹ Your Brain on ChatGPT — MIT Media Lab

Granular Time — Silvio Lorusso
https://silviolorusso.com/publication/granular-time/

Observations about shrinking time, the idea that the computer didn’t give us more time, as promised, but instead filled our lives with micro tasks. We should leave the clock at the door in many situations, like the art/design classroom

Luister naar moslimvrouwen, zegt schrijver Houria Bouteldja. ‘Een vrouw met hoofddoek zegt tegen witte mensen: ik behoor jou niet toe’ | de Volkskrant
https://www.volkskrant.nl/buitenland/luister-naar-moslimvrouwen-zegt-schrijver-houria-bouteldja-een-vrouw-met-hoofddoek-zegt-tegen-witte-mensen-ik-behoor-jou-niet-toe~bc577135d/

Bovendien is het moeilijk voor te stellen hoe radicale gelijkwaardigheid eruitziet, het is onbekend terrein. Ik weet ook niet hoe een wereld zonder uitbuiting eruit zou zien, maar de huidige wereldorde leidt tot oorlog en geweld, dus het is het onderzoeken waard.
