Software, hardware, art – a blog of process and findings
A brief version of Douglas Fogle’s article for Frieze titled “What They Don’t Teach You in Art School“:
1. Art hurts
2. Kill your parents
3. You can learn more in the world than you can in school
4. Don’t wait for the ‘man’ to come to you
5. Don’t spend more time networking than making work
6. Have fun
7. Live wrong

“Things With Frightening Names” from “The Pillow Book” by Sei Shōnagon:
“A pool of green water.
A cavern in a valley.
A board fence.
Iron.
A clod of earth.
Thunder: not only is the name frightening but the thing iteself.
A hurricane.
A cloud of ill omen.
The halberd star.
A wolf.
A white-eyed cow.
Prison. A prison warder.
An anchor. Here again one is frightened not only by the name but by the sight of the object.
A rope mat.
A robber is frightening in every possible way.
An ‘elbow shower’.
Snake strawberries.
A living ghost.
Devil’s yam and devil’s fern.
Bramble and the prickly citron.
Dried charcoal.
A peony.
The cow-headed devil.”
