Alex PADWA STOPS BY ITP/IMA to give a talk. LECTURE: "GOLD UNDER THE
DUST"
The embedded paradox in all act of design (how did Arthur Dent learn
to fly). Disciplined freedom, hectic control, and planned spontaneity
– essential tools of the designer, the contemporary alchemist.
The lecture will also deal with the dark sides of innovation, the
danger of our own intelligence, and the power of boredom. All will be
demonstrated with a variety of industrial design projects, including
the lunar spacecraft that met the moon, more dramatically than
planned.
