INCOMPLETE MANIFESTO FOR GROWTH by BRUCE MAU
I will post now something in its metaphorically cogdis entirety, the Incomplete Manifesto for Growth by Bruce Mau. It is his stuff but it hits me at the right time and in the right mental pressure points, so I feel I have to reflect this further. Have as much of a happy breakdown and chain of realizations as I've had with this. Good luck. (found on kafka dreams and brucemaudesign)
Allow events to change you.
You have to be willing to grow. Growth is different from something that happens to you. You produce it. You live it. The prerequisites for growth: the openness to experience events and the willingness to be changed by them.Forget about good.
Good is a known quantity. Good is what we all agree on. Growth is not necessarily good. Growth is an exploration of unlit recesses that may or may not yield to our research. As long as you stick to good you’ll never have real growth.Process is more important than outcome.
When the outcome drives the process we will only ever go to where we’ve already been. If process drives outcome we may not know where we’re going, but we will know we want to be there.Love your experiments (as you would an ugly child).
Joy is the engine of growth. Exploit the liberty in casting your work as beautiful experiments, iterations, attempts, trials, and errors. Take the long view and allow yourself the fun of failure every day.Go deep.
The deeper you go the more likely you will discover something of value.Capture accidents.
The wrong answer is the right answer in search of a different question. Collect wrong answers as part of the process. Ask different questions.Study.
A studio is a place of study. Use the necessity of production as an excuse to study. Everyone will benefit.Drift.
Allow yourself to wander aimlessly. Explore adjacencies. Lack judgment. Postpone criticism.Begin anywhere.
John Cage tells us that not knowing where to begin is a common form of paralysis. His advice: begin anywhere.Everyone is a leader.
Growth happens. Whenever it does, allow it to emerge. Learn to follow when it makes sense. Let anyone lead.Harvest ideas.
Edit applications. Ideas need a dynamic, fluid, generous environment to sustain life. Applications, on the other hand, benefit from critical rigor. Produce a high ratio of ideas to applications.Keep moving.
The market and its operations have a tendency to reinforce success. Resist it. Allow failure and migration to be part of your practice.Slow down.
Desynchronize from standard time frames and surprising opportunities may present themselves.Don’t be cool.
Cool is conservative fear dressed in black. Free yourself from limits of this sort.Ask stupid questions.
Growth is fueled by desire and innocence. Assess the answer, not the question. Imagine learning throughout your life at the rate of an infant.Collaborate.
The space between people working together is filled with conflict, friction, strife, exhilaration, delight, and vast creative potential.____________________.
Intentionally left blank. Allow space for the ideas you haven’t had yet, and for the ideas of others.Stay up late.
Strange things happen when you’ve gone too far, been up too long, worked too hard, and you’re separated from the rest of the world.Work the metaphor.
Every object has the capacity to stand for something other than what is apparent. Work on what it stands for.Be careful to take risks.
Time is genetic. Today is the child of yesterday and the parent of tomorrow. The work you produce today will create your future.Repeat yourself.
If you like it, do it again. If you don’t like it, do it again.Make your own tools.
Hybridize your tools in order to build unique things. Even simple tools that are your own can yield entirely new avenues of exploration. Remember, tools amplify our capacities, so even a small tool can make a big difference.Stand on someone’s shoulders.
You can travel farther carried on the accomplishments of those who came before you. And the view is so much better.Avoid software.
The problem with software is that everyone has it.Don’t clean your desk.
You might find something in the morning that you can’t see tonight.Don’t enter awards competitions.
Just don’t. It’s not good for you.Read only left-hand pages.
Marshall McLuhan did this. By decreasing the amount of information, we leave room for what he called our "noodle."Make new words.
Expand the lexicon. The new conditions demand a new way of thinking. The thinking demands new forms of expression. The expression generates new conditions.Think with your mind.
Forget technology. Creativity is not device-dependent.Organization = Liberty.
Real innovation in design, or any other field, happens in context. That context is usually some form of cooperatively managed enterprise. Frank Gehry, for instance, is only able to realize Bilbao because his studio can deliver it on budget. The myth of a split between "creatives" and "suits" is what Leonard Cohen calls a ‘charming artifact of the past.’Don’t borrow money.
Once again, Frank Gehry’s advice. By maintaining financial control, we maintain creative control. It’s not exactly rocket science, but it’s surprising how hard it is to maintain this discipline, and how many have failed.Listen carefully.
Every collaborator who enters our orbit brings with him or her a world more strange and complex than any we could ever hope to imagine. By listening to the details and the subtlety of their needs, desires, or ambitions, we fold their world onto our own. Neither party will ever be the same.Take field trips.
The bandwidth of the world is greater than that of your TV set, or the Internet, or even a totally immersive, interactive, dynamically rendered, object-oriented, real-time, computer graphic–simulated environment.Make mistakes faster.
This isn’t my idea — I borrowed it. I think it belongs to Andy Grove.Imitate.
Don’t be shy about it. Try to get as close as you can. You’ll never get all the way, and the separation might be truly remarkable. We have only to look to Richard Hamilton and his version of Marcel Duchamp’s large glass to see how rich, discredited, and underused imitation is as a technique.Scat.
When you forget the words, do what Ella did: make up something else … but not words.Break it, stretch it, bend it, crush it, crack it, fold it.
Explore the other edge.
Great liberty exists when we avoid trying to run with the technological pack. We can’t find the leading edge because it’s trampled underfoot. Try using old-tech equipment made obsolete by an economic cycle but still rich with potential.Coffee breaks, cab rides, green rooms.
Real growth often happens outside of where we intend it to, in the interstitial spaces — what Dr. Seuss calls "the waiting place." Hans Ulrich Obrist once organized a science and art conference with all of the infrastructure of a conference — the parties, chats, lunches, airport arrivals — but with no actual conference. Apparently it was hugely successful and spawned many ongoing collaborations.Avoid fields.
Jump fences. Disciplinary boundaries and regulatory regimes are attempts to control the wilding of creative life. They are often understandable efforts to order what are manifold, complex, evolutionary processes. Our job is to jump the fences and cross the fields.Laugh.
People visiting the studio often comment on how much we laugh. Since I’ve become aware of this, I use it as a barometer of how comfortably we are expressing ourselves.Remember.
Growth is only possible as a product of history. Without memory, innovation is merely novelty. History gives growth a direction. But a memory is never perfect. Every memory is a degraded or composite image of a previous moment or event. That’s what makes us aware of its quality as a past and not a present. It means that every memory is new, a partial construct different from its source, and, as such, a potential for growth itself.Power to the people.
Play can only happen when people feel they have control over their lives. We can’t be free agents if we’re not free.
OLDIE BUT GOLDIE: r u a cyberpunk?
This page comes from Mondo 2000 but if you want to get more hardcore, check out The Real Cyberpunk Fakebook by R. U. Sirius and St. Jude. (amazon link here, cyberpunkreview here, puretext here that makes no sense, it's mostly pictures anyways!)
as it happens, loud and busy
As it happens, your year this time will be loud and busy. Your years are always like that, I know. This time, especially so. I'll jury-rig a coffeebomb for you if your prediction ends up true again. It always does. Coffeebomb, mind you, is not far from a derelict porn niche diligently exercised by the kind of office workers who have separate names for all the muscles that makes their eye tick. I like you this much to offer you anthropologically high-valued porn biscuits. (Yes, I know you like me, too.)
I have resolutions for 2013. Being the consensus-shaking catalyst bastard that I am, all those resolutions are summoned up to sharpen up the brainmeat and keep it thinking. Moving. Fermenting. Fornicating with itself.
One book every week. Stick to Jeremy Dawson's system of how to listen to new bands every week and every day. Brush up French. Take up Mandarin Chinese. Get back to biking. Learn to forget about gravity while I'm riding up to Muswell Hill. Get back to tai chi & chi kung. Trick up consensus reality once again. Learn the Melbourne Shuffle. Get that collateral damage of a second book idea to synopsis level, then at least to half-manuscript stage. Sell that grotesque series I've written to a network. Get the Damage Report ebook out.
This is twelve. We'll see in a little less than 360 days how it went.
RETROSPECTIVE: the big post at the end of 2012

INTERVIEW: Slutwave Neonpunk Tarot (with Actually Huizenga and moi)
The first issue of carnal underground stylist Sophie Rotas' male fashion & erotic contemporary art magazine NERO HOMME is out (now in Budapest and hopefully by this weekend London, too), much like a heavily monochrome monogatari at obscure Soho coffeehouse/orgy joints. Issue BODY CONFIDENCE features a splatter round of body confidence black glamour shots and interviews with the likes of Emika, Matt Lambert, Chrysta Bell, Millie Brown, Theo-Mass Lexileictous, Jen Gilpin, Alexandra Groover, a three-way discussion of Princess Julia, Matthew Stone and James Long - also our swordclash of brains with slutwave goddess Actually Huizenga and moi that we've laid out according to the 22 cards of the Major Arcana. (Yes, this inevitably makes me the neonpunk.)
You'll get the first half of the interview in the upcoming days when Sophie & Co re-launches their site with content and the second half a bit later after that. Until then, look out for magazine sales points on their Facebook page. (Thanks to Ninth & Dawe for making the ultra-fast delivery possible!)
INTERVIEW: Visually Marketplace Designer Spotlight (with moi)
Drew Skau of infographics powerhouse @Visually interviewed me this Friday after I've ended up as one of the winners for the infographics challenge of The Economist, the Pew Research Center’s Project for Excellence in Journalism (PEJ) and visual.ly. Read it in its entirety here!
PERSONAL: Winning the infographics challenge of The Economist, PEJ and visual.ly!
In January I closed the manuscript for my first book DAMAGE REPORT and promised not to touch text for a long time. So I started researching into infographics instead. Eleven months later I won the infographic challenge put on by The Economist, the Pew Research Center’s Project for Excellence in Journalism (PEJ) and visual.ly. Read more about that here - where you can (and should) check out the other winners, THEY ROCK! (Well, that wasn't exactly Tim Ferriss tempo but I'm trying my best to get there.) I also have to mention that this work is a joint submission - appearing in the colours of tablet2cases.com with whom I've been working with for almost half a year now on visualizing data about tablets and related consumer behaviour patterns.

LINKBOX: Inside The Mind of The Damage, 2012 November
And you wouldn't even believe me if I said this is not for SEO but I just cannot keep up with the amount of bookmarking so I just needed to do this - more links I wanted to talk about but I ultimately haven't - games, infographics and magick. Yes, this was all in my head in November (and possibly October, too!)

WEEKEND: [hyper-conscious] Hyper Japan 2012, Psydoll in London
Hyperreal. A copy of the real without any origin or reality, states Baudrillard. The authentic fake, says Umberto Eco. Atari Teenage Riot amps the volume to 11 with excruciating delicacy. This place is a big biosemiotic onion on the mainstream timeslot. That's me, it is a Saturday and I just lost a wonderful girl named Charlotte into a crowd of seemingly acid-ridden Marios and Yoshis and a gothloli army equipped with masks of blatant and vague liebevacui disinterest that would send even Rocco Siffredi into the PITS OF LIMP. (Yes, pits of limp. Get over it.)
Welcome to Hyper Japan, an ecosystem of pre-Cyber Monday kawaii innecessities, sweet lolita treats, pop magazines, mangas, toys, the yodawg 9gag cosplayers (doing le meta cosplay of enacting 9gag comment trolling in real life, idling along the walls in slomo neurotic unison), the occasional parents shocked into mute statues of glossy Munchian terror, an endless streak of geek couples and an evolving katamari of fans - a grandiose pop bath simulation of UK tourists condensed into a few hundred square meters of Earls Court. I suddenly miss the RFID-tag visitor tracking and its visualization sprayed across AR layers and a backchannel masturbating on us with staccato squirt tweets and event blabber - anything that could kick HJ off from its initial pink froth touristy phase to something teeth-grittingly modern. Ish. Hopefully without the Fukushima radiation treatment. (For better psychographic profiling, check out a massive video footage archive from JackDigital about this February's Hyper Japan event.)
I'm voicing this to Wendy, silently dripping coffee into my eyesockets. `Why would you expect anything so specifically underground here? This is Nihon at its mainstream and as such it is quite alright`, she says, leaving me in a flurry to dispatch enemies. She spends an hour practicing with showman swordfighter troupe KAMUI who carefully elude topics like proper stance, legwork or balance while I'm playing around with the Handroid, the only thing left for me to fiddle with if I don't want to play Yu-Gi-Oh or mess around with the new Tekken release. I obviously break it. The Kinect-controlled mechanic hand doesn't care too much about introduction, its sensor glares at me, reads my very heart and sticks its mechanic fingers into a grumpy gesture of ROCK regardless of how I hold my fingers against the sensors, its cognitive muscles paralyzed into my personal statement.
"Bad targeting", I tell the devs, "this is a mindreader hand, not one that mimics."
"Yes", they say.
In a universe similar to ours, my blood splatters on cheap warehouse wallboards, not quite elegantly.
Needless to say, we decide to move underground.

Bethnal Green's Resistance Gallery, tucked away in Poyser Street behind an almost unmarked door offers just the flipside of HJ's gluttonous pink - it is a sensuous, pulsing liqueur of black and red and sweet, sweet dense grime. Poised on the top floor maid café we take in Nawashi Murakawa's Yoshiwara bondage performance and the Monsterlune Freakshow, above them, the iconic figure of Batou broods away in existential glitch. Little pocket universes and little pocket interwebs work best and this is clearly one of them, one of those freeze-frame moments when you look around and see your lifegraph map itself out, below us, a scene of mock cannibalism, resurrection and a twisted love triangle of vaginal glitter, sparsed with statements of power and self-scrutiny along structures of rope.
I always wondered what kind of veves shibari structures align themselves to. My guesses may actually be well-founded.
In a universe not completely unlike ours, robotic baby heads looking like typewriters making love to horology explode in alphabetical order.
In other news, as I'm typing these, campaigners are busy fundraising to oppose the imminent demolition plans for Earls Court.
There is now a metabubble anomaly on the Central line.
PS. As for little pocket universes and frothing bubbles of meta - we had quite a lengthy discusssion over those with @silcucc - with a message of intent that puts all little universes into sentience. TRUST YOUR STORY.
SUPPORT: Industrial Soundtrack for the Urban Decay
Industrial Soundtrack For The Urban Decay will be my second documentary focusing on industrial and experimental music. Framed in the post industrial revolution society, industrial music stands out by its use of anti-music, noise and electronic elements, shock factor performances, provocative themes and unique design, as well as its independence from the major labels, mass media and culture: Industrial music has a culture of its own. (via kisskissbankbank)
I'm simply amazed. Amélie Ravalec goes head-on ballistic with industrial subculture in her latest endeavour Industrial Soundtrack for the Urban Decay and it looks massive. MASSIVE. Planning interviews with the likes of Cabaret Voltaire's Steph Mellinder, Chris & Cosey, Clock DVA's Paul Browse, Boyd Rice, SPK or Z'EV is nothing short of breathtaking and if you're doubtful, check out the teaser for her previous documentary, Paris/Berlin: 20 Years of Underground Techno. SUPPORT THIS NOW. Again, here's the link.
TRAILER: 2088 (Steven Ilous), more pre-Robocop porn
Pre-Robocop non-human crime division meets a derelict car and a very, very angry robot with it. Only a minute long, yet the actor models, the cars, the cityscape - it all looks wonderfully melt together. Amazing soundwork by ECHOLAB, more info on 2088's Facebook page and of course, it has been delivered to you by the mad robocop otaku Riplakoidase!

PLANETDAMAGE: lifesign, 2012 November
Six weeks in a nutshell, ruddy staccato on a Halloween night, dictated by an overdose of caffeine and probably a bit of hatred, too. And I just watched someone onscreen drink half a bottle of wine with his eyesocket.

- 78 percent of Bitcoin currency stashed under digital mattress, study finds
The figure translates to more than 7.019 million BTCs, the term used to denote a single coin under the digital currency, which uses strong cryptography and peer-to-peer networking to enable anonymous payments among parties who don't necessarily know or trust each other. Based on exchange rates listed on Mt.Gox—the most widely used Bitcoin exchange—the coins have a value of more than $82.87 million. On May 13, the date the researchers analyzed their data, there were slightly more than 9 million BTCs in existence. - Strange Sounds: 7 Experimental Projects Making Music from Natural Elements
California-based artist Diego Stocco is a master of sound abstraction. A sound designer and composer, he creates unusual sound experiences using anything from everyday objects to contraptions he builds from scratch. From outfitting a tree with a stethoscope, a plastic pipe and a microphone, to blending an old piano with the sounds of sunset, his work has a beautiful nature-grounded quality to it whilst really pushing the technologies and conception of modern sound design. - Physicists say there may be a way to prove that we live in a computer simulation
Back in 2003, Oxford professor Nick Bostrom suggested that we may be living in a computer simulation. In his paper, Bostrom offered very little science to support his hypothesis — though he did calculate the computational requirements needed to pull off such a feat.But now, a team of physicists say proof might be possible, and that it's a matter of finding a cosmological signature that would serve as the proverbial Red Pill from the Matrix. And they think they know what it is.
MOVIE: ridley scott on blade runner 2
It's not a rumour – it's happening. With Harrison Ford? I don't know yet. Is he too old? Well, he was a Nexus-6 so we don't know how long he can live [laughs]. And that's all I'm going to say at this stage. (via io9)
SPAM: human memory storage
Getting a tad bit Takeshi Kovacs here at Muswell Hill - there is a caffeine drip going straight into my right eye and the left one is looking at the mail I've just gotten with the subject MARIUSZ, HAVE YOU UPLOADED YOUR MEMORIES TODAY? which reminds me of all the great (...not) spam waves of the early double-zeroes. Landing page (above) is somewhere between Battle Royale and Max Headroom and is at revolution-memory-insurance.com. No idea which game, service, opt-in mailing list or future employer with a plan did that to me but I find this perversely entertaining. And the 20-second loop on the site has been on for more than half an hour. Hypnotic at the very least, but then again we took the hobbits to Isengard and only stopped at the seven hour mark because Windows died a terminal crash. Keeping you updated on this as more details come up.
ROBOTS: Bina48 (interview with creator Bruce Duncan)
The entire last week I was living next door to one of the world’s famous avatars: Bina48. A true celebrity. And I have to admit, it was very quiet. I know about Bina48 for a few years now, I’ve made many interviews with one of Bina48′s creators so to say, Martine Rothblatt, but I never met her in “person”. Yesterday was the day.

newsflash, 2012-10-09
planetdamage.com is back after two weeks of maintenance mode, settling in, coping with London, finding good coffee, harassing eBay vendors and getting mildly accustomed to the absurdly non-existent taste of food ingredients. Habaneros still have a nice bite, though. If you have any postworthy news, send it to planetdamage at gmail and brace yourself for content. Cringe softly.
2012: back in the uk
Missing the hard-edge content? Good. I miss it too. I mean I really don't, I've got hilarious amounts of new stuff bookmarked. On the other hand I just moved to London, well, a week ago, to be exact, and this is the first opportunity this week for chilling out and just blogging. Mostly because the exhaustion of the gods is in my bones. I opened a Tumblr in Hungarian for stories and pictures for friends or those who're interested in moving to the UK as well and you can find it at damageinlondon.tumblr.com - and most of my content goes to Twitter (which is mainly reblogs) or Facebook. I'll need some time to get accustomed to everything and take up the new tempo but things are heading in the right direction. I would also love to get some extra time to work my site/portfolio hybrid. I am also looking for freelance / part-time / fulltime jobs (infographics/blogging/social media/community management are the four pillars of strength) so if you've heard of anything, know of anything or want to employ a NINJA OF ROCK, you know who to talk to. Lots and lots of background work at the moment so please bear with patience - it will be worth the arduous wait. (Send me links, though, will try to find a way to mash it out once a day.)

TRAILER: BRANDED (on the verge of ripping the consensus apart)
Branded, the new dystopian movie about the evil world behind advertising, was written and directed by two marketing executives (Jamie Bradshaw and Aleksandr Dulerayn). And the movie's terrifying imagery comes straight from their extensive experience in the field.
But what's this bizarre-looking movie really about? What are these strange creatures bubbling behind out soda pop ads? We sat down with Bradshaw, and he told us everything — including the most dangerous advertising entity in the real world. (read the complete interview on io9)
Liking the way where the interview is headed, this is apparently more Tibetan thoughtform tulpas than anything else. Not aliens. A consensual patchwork of sizzling brain desire, more like.
