i recall a friend saying little more than MORE when the end was considered

/ design as
/ design for

If the study and practice includes all audiences, forms, content, contexts, surfaces, environments, dimensions

histories & futures

if the means value

individual : collective

virtual : real

noun : verb

if the goal is preferred development, health, learning, life, community & environment

if we claim this Now-Discipline of All-ness, advocate it & profess it

How does it change us?

[it’s a bit, a gambit, it points — like noting the design of dog food packaging]

The third time it was the same as the first two but louder.

I have no more tricks. [exact words]
Won’t work.
Won’t listen.
Cell phones.

No more tricks.

i recall huffs, sighs — the huffs and the sighs are imagined but after hearing this same said in the hall, yes — huffs and sighs —

and in another talk about other humans, closer ones, lower tones, sons and daughters:
It did not take.
It did not take. [exact words]

This parental relationship did not take.
Did not take.
Like what?

Those layers were added, complex.

We and they did hyphenate design with every study in the university and ‘study’ itself. Time and motion and writings on time and motion and then scales of systems and natural and generations of family to come and we gave it a try, tested:

— jump in there and let go to see what can happen. Sound. Layers, InDesIlluShopping, some scripting for on-enter and any 3-D rendering tilt world, any of that?

— flipped the classroom, MOOC’d, brought in the UX all-stars, integrated the D-thinking mantras, stopped to think of the juggling and singing and play-acting that could fill the program of the new community plaza-library (maybe mimes, sales, animal acts), read our business management animal metaphors (cows, hedgehogs, stacked minds, reptilian, neuro’d-up), took the empathy exam. [right?]

— made things, of course, information design pointing at social design, those wall-size posters explaining, diagramming, good stuff branded as such (GOOD, better, KIND, more, MATTER, small, SMART, warm [right.]

— and cycles and scales and simultaneity, simulation, gamed on multiple platforms, and again we busted out the post-it think sessions, cardio.

And we become teachers of course, that course, the similar one — exuberant or defeated by cell phones.

and we anthro’d-up, closer, lower, like sons and daughters

It did not take.
