I just published on my website a set of guidelines (disguised as a fictional memo) for inviting cultural workers to give talks, etc.*Many people here contributed to it and they are listed as CC. Thank you!I was commissioned this text more than one year ago, and since the book for which it was written isn't out yet, I decided to make it available online. Feel free to use it when you invite or get invited. * https://silviolorusso.com/publication/cultural-industry-memo/

@raphael yeah that would have been a good addition. Here, I tried to stay within the care towards the individual, because if we start to talk about it broadly politically it's another can of worms :)

“In trying to work as both a practicing architect and a city planner, I have personally felt the compromises and the platitudes of a profession refusing to admit it sold itself out a long time ago to those who rule our society.” – Robert Goodman 1972#design #architecture

Some time ago Anna's Archive launched a contest to create a visualization of the “ISBN space,” i.e., all books registered through this code. The results are spectacular. I recommend that you search for any book in the winning tool for an authentically Borgesian experience. Winner: https://phiresky.github.io/isbn-visualization/List of winners: https://annas-archive.org/blog/all-isbns-winners.html#design

“The professional societies take special care to communicate the environmental expert’s importance and to bemoan the blight and chaos which follow when he isn’t used.” – Robert Goodman (1972)#design #architecture #planning

"You may very well appropriately want to ask me how we are going to resolve the ever-accelerating dangerous impasse of world-opposed politicians and ideological dogmas. I answer, it will be resolved by the computer." – Buckminster Fuller

"Design Fictions are Material Artifacts. Not stories.(Stories are called — surprise! — stories, not Design Fictions)Design Fictions are Things. Not an episode of a Science Fiction show.(Science Fiction shows are called — surprise! — Science Fiction shows, not Design Fictions.)Design Fictions are materialized hold-in-your-hand objects that represent the implications of a world from which they have come." – Julian Bleecker (2023)https://backoffice.nearfuturelaboratory.com/blog/2024/01/what-design-fiction-is-not/#design #film

"Just over 1 in 10 in the creative industries are aged 45+, which has remained the same for the last three years. This lack of representation brings into question the long-term prospective of creative careers, especially if an individual chooses to take a career break. Almost half of those aged 45+ work within just two sectors within the creative industries, with 43% in Creative, Design & Studio and a further 14% within Marketing, PR, and Communications." – 2023 UK Creative Industries Census#design

“I began to realize, as well, that the intelligent and sensitive people in my environment had experiences with nonart portions of their visual world that were of such quality and consistency that the demarcation of similar experiences as art would make no appreciable difference; that perhaps mankind was beginning to outgrow the need for art on that level; that he was beginning to deal with his world aesthetically” – Joseph Kosuth, 2003#design #art #aesthetics

“Contemporary theorists have overcorrected what they frame as the impersonal abstraction, masculinist reserve, and rationalist systematicity of capital-T theory, offering in its place obscene confessionalism, pseudo-lyrical fragmentation, flowing immanence, and tautological haecceity.” – Anna Kornbluh, 2024https://www.e-flux.com/notes/589060/against-anti-theory#theory

"Design will have to play a role in establishing the value proposition for criticality that customers will want, things that are considered from an ethics standpoint, from a fairness standpoint. You can see it like when you buy products: sometimes you're like, oh, I'll pay a little more because that has a better ethics." – John Maeda, 2024*From ornamental politics to ethics cosmetics* https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5zFOSQDpby8#design

"To refer to the political character of any design activity is not to refer to echoing pomposity and ambitious revolutionary declarations. Certainly, revolutions are not made with objects and, in this regard, least of all with "designed" objects." – Gui Bonsiepe, 1977
