O'Reilly's Mary Treseler chats with David Rose, an instructor at MIT's Media Lab and CEO at Ditto Labs, about enchanted objects and finding sources of inspiration in fairy tales and folklore. In the second segment, O'Reilly's Nick Lombardi talks with Simon King, design director and interaction design community lead at IDEO, about human-centered design, where design intuition fits in to the creative process, and how design is evolving as projects become more and more complex.

Andy Chen and Waqas Jawaid are the founders of Isometric Studio, a New York design studio that promotes inclusion, equality & progress. Andy and Waqas were thesis critics at MICA in December and I sat down with them while they were in Baltimore to talk about their backgrounds in sociology and architecture influence their design practice, the value of design criticism in the contemporary design profession, and the type of design writing they'd like to see more of.

Pedagogy of the Oppressed Pt 3-#ReadingRevolution w/Richard - Left POCket Project Podcast - Ep 22

Brian Eno's huge back catalogue of work as a solo musician, band member and producer goes back decades, including high-profile work with Roxy Music, Talking Heads, David Bowie, John Cale and many others. He is often credited with inventing ambient music, but this conversation between Juliet and Brian does not talk about the past. Instead, we focused on how Brian has adapted to new music, new technology, and neoliberalism, and what responsibilities artists have to acknowledge and use their cultural capital.
