It is only within this substance-less, critically lapsed media landscape that Coronagrifting can prosper. […] You may be asking, “What’s the harm in all this, really, if it projects a good message?” And the answer is that people are plenty well encouraged to stay home due to the rampant spread of a deadly virus at the urging of the world’s health authorities, and that these tone-deaf art world creeps are using such a crisis for shameless self promotion and the generation of clicks and income, while providing little to no material benefit to those at risk and on the frontlines. […] There is something truly chilling about an architecture firm, in order to profit from attention seized by a global pandemic, logging on to their computers, opening photoshop, and drafting up some lazy, ineffectual, unsanitary mockup featuring figures in hazmat suits carrying a dying patient (macabrely set in an unfinished airport construction site) as a real, tangible solution to the problem of overcrowded hospitals; submitting it to their PR desk for copy, and sending it out to blogs and websites for clicks, knowing full well that the sole purpose of doing so consists of the hope that maybe someone with lots of money looking to commission health-related interiors will remember that one time there was a glossy airport hospital rendering on designboom and hire them.]]> architecture design covid19 https://pinboard.in/ https://pinboard.in/u:matthewmcvickar/b:ecc293c1441f/ 2020-05-02T21:37:47+00:00 https://www.si.edu/openaccess matthewmcvickar Welcome to Smithsonian Open Access, where you can download, share, and reuse millions of the Smithsonian’s images—right now, without asking.

You can’t separate an object’s function from its intent. You cannot critique it, you cannot understand it, and you cannot appreciate something without thinking about its intent. You are responsible for what you put into the world. And you are responsible for how what you’ve designed affects the world.

Or were the late twentieth and early twenty-first century the decades in which we irrevocably decided that everything should be disposable (or even recyclable) after just two or three years?]]> apple consumerism product design computers technology https://pinboard.in/ https://pinboard.in/u:matthewmcvickar/b:7316e3b5a904/ 2012-06-10T21:24:49+00:00 http://contentsmagazine.com/articles/10-timeframes/ matthewmcvickarIf we are going to ask people, in the form of our products, in the form of the things we make, to spend their heartbeats—if we are going to ask them to spend their heartbeats on us, on our ideas, how can we be sure, far more sure than we are now, that they spend those heartbeats wisely?]]> design inspiration speech time https://pinboard.in/ https://pinboard.in/u:matthewmcvickar/b:2081fe5261bf/ 2012-04-11T18:05:13+00:00 http://venturebeat.com/2012/04/10/dylans-desk-why-instagram-is-worth-1-billion-and-your-startup-isnt/ matthewmcvickarInstagram succeeded for many good reasons, including its design, its viral qualities, its simplicity, and the fact that its engineers focused so obsessively on making sure that it works all the time.
