hello.

Jim Campbell does light sculptures using very low-resolution video displays made of LEDs or light bulbs, showing short, silent films. His animations are stripped of so much detail that you’re forced to fill in using your imagination and his short descriptions. The works remind me of spare pencil sketches that evoke a ton of emotion with only a few lines. Well worth seeing whenever you can.

Thanks to Dan Winckler for the link.

Everything I Know comes from Rory Hamilton, who taught at the Royal College of Art’s interaction design program. It’s a collection of his notes on topics from applying to design school to setting a good project brief to what interaction design is. His essays are short, pointed, and practical. You can read the whole site in about 10 minutes, but if you’re working, teaching, or learning in interaction design,it’s 10 minutes well-spent.
