We need some responses to the images from the slide library in the next day so we can start piecing the publication together. I think that the title could be CONF(LAB) rather than DIALOGUE (heard that one too many times - RCA used it this year anyway.) What do you reckon?

Another interesting article from today's Guardian, again this was something that I mentioned on the Graphics blog. One of the problems with this idea of death of print or death of newspapers is that online media doesn't alter the content(well it can do if you read Charlie Brookers article), the content isn't dying- the medium is. The journalistic quality of The Guardian is still there and online media can allow newspapers to expand in new ways. Links, blogs feeds, comments, videos and so on.…

Really interesting piece about how the web is altering the way we consume information. Is the web altering the way we read and take in information, is the web making it impossible for us to imerrse ourselves in books or long articles? I don't agree with all the negative aspects but agree with the idea that the web is alteing the way society consumes information.

Following on from the discussions this afternoon about documenting what we we are doing as we do it. This is an article from Nick Bucher. It's talking mainly about blogging as the Apprentice is going out live, allowing people to respond and feedback as events take place.
Some quotes, talking about TV in this case but could be applied to other events and media.
"In the same way that Guardian journalists blog live around sports events / technology launches, Guardian journali…

Matt Jones on the Design of travel site Dopplr

One of the aspects of creating social tools that fascinates me is the ability to make the invisible visible, and what effect surfacing these patterns then has on us as individuals and groups.
For a while there have been carbon calculators on airline websites and environmentalist websites, but generally they have been about directly showing the impact of an indi

Dialogue and semiotics. Russian philosopher and semiotician Mikhail Bakhtin's theory of "dialogue" emphasized the power of discourse to increase understanding of multiple perspectives and create myriad possibilities. Bakhtin held that relationships and connections exist among all living beings, and that dialogue creates a new understanding of a situation that demands change. In his influential work, Bakhtin provided a linguistic methodology to define the dialogue, it's nature and it's meaning.…

I guess what interests me about this for the publication, is setting up a network, members and non-members. How do you identify members of the group? How do people join the group/network? What are the rules once you join? How do you interact with members/non-members? How do memebers of a group communicate?
I also like the promotion of the event, just using stickers, flyers and some info on a website. The way that something that has a lot references, research and depth about social netwo…

Shamelessly lifted from Wikipedia, problems with working in a group. How do you encourage parcitcpation by other members of a group?
"The main explanation for social loafing is that people feel unmotivated
when working in a group, because they think that their contributions
will not be evaluated. According to the results of a meta-analysis
study (Karau & Williams, 1993), social loafing is a pervasive

Taken from The Poetics of the Open Work - Umberto Eco. All these examples of "open" work and "works in movement" have this latent characteristic which guarentees that they will always be seen as "works" and not just as a conglomeration of random components ready to emerge from the chaos in which they previously stood and permitted to asume any form whatsoever. Now, a dictionary clearly presents us with thousands upon thousands of which we could freely use to compose poetry, essays on physics, a…

More ideas about how we could collaborate as a group and generate work, could something similar be applied to text, pages, images?
I think this might also tie into Charlotte's post from "Big Sur" about creating random text/ work from other peoples contributions?

These booklets will be like an exhibition space, a framework which is offered to each participant, culminating in a book as a publicly distributed exhibition in Los Angeles.

From Design Week http://www.designweek.co.uk/Articles/138287/Voxpop.html
Italian design and architecture title Domus has unveiled a
radical redesign, based on a flexible content system rather than a set
format. What is the most radical graphic design you have come across
for a magazine, and why?
I haven't seen the new Domus so I can't comment on that yet, but

Lined & Unlined has been up and running for about a year and a half now, and so far I’ve had the good fortune to hear from a few of you out there in one capacity or another. Everytime I have, I’ve been incredibly grateful for the insight, encouragement, or critique, not to mention a lot of virtual introductions to people from far and wide. The site doesn’t support comments right now (though someday I may reconsider this for certain posts), so other than sending me an email about something sp…

I am a junior faculty member now teaching graphic design but I began my studies in architecture. Today, working towards my tenure requirements at a large university, I am asked to provide some biographical information whenever a piece of my writing finds the light of day in a publication, however infrequently that may be. This request always makes me uneasy because I am aware of the contrast between how this information is written for architecture and graphic design audiences. Architects list a…

Another way to draw the line by Jamie Hobson Extract from eye - Autumn 2007 A professor of engineering who recently visited the LCC came across a piece of student work, unfinished, that comprised coloured rectangles placed randomly on a sheet of paper. Its meaning was not apparent, but the designer explained that he had been dropping playing cards on to a piece of paper and recording the pattern created. As to the process and its purpose, the student knew he was experimenting with probability b…

Broadcasters have only recently turned their attention to spreading their programmes throughout the web. Web 2.0 logic dictates that broadcasters will stand a better chance of continuing to reach mass audiences if they are able to scatter clips, programmes and other background material throughout the web to users who will no longer head for "destination sites" to watch it.
