• I‘m considering building a small library of grids for design for myself, and this idea/phantasy appeared: would finding unusual grids not be akin to stepping into a dialogue with the grid‘s author? I heavily consider looking into grids used #asca #grids #buildinpublic

    I used to treat Social Media like I was answering questions in an interview: what was I thinking about, what was I doing at the moment? You know, questions movie stars get asked in interviews? But nobody was asking me anything at all.
    And I donʼt think acting that way served me at all. Iʼm just like everyone else now: I treat it like a chat, tuning in and out of conversations while doing something else.
    This I do for fun. Or work. But never marketing. Never again an interview, either. asca

  • Personally, I am sick of the landing page paradigm. Thatʼs not me. My website is not an ad. I might look more into japanese design, vaguely recalling how they deal with information density in a world stuck on Flesch-Kincaid #asca https://x.com/MarioBreskic/status/1872644564563136574

  • @mariobreskic:

    Having an idea is like being in unbearable pain: like an animal, you want to get rid of it by any means. But it is an easy pain to get rid of, too. Even just telling someone else about it will make it go away—Long before having an idea could lead to action. Being a human about it, bearing the idea, thatʼs what I want to be, instead of an animal in pain. asca

    You should read this, see the images, and then say Good-bye to what you write each and every day into the void of Social Media. I will bookmark and store this post, follow this photographerʼs other accounts elsewhere, and add this to my custom archive thus asca #inspiration #photography #creativity

  • Listening to the film Ex Machina and decided to correct something I kept trying to correct before: how my door to my consciousness functions.

    You see this text on your screen? It is on your screen, right?

    So it goes from your screen into your eyes (or ears, or whatever you use for these words to enter your mind), so the medium is a door to an inside, and I am in the same boat as you, right?

    I see, and I mostly read things. And tell you what? Most things you get to read, they make you crazy. Not books, no, but what bunches of people do online. Something about attention, something about journalism, something else about economies of things.

    At least, they distract me. And when they distract me from whatever it is I am doing, they end up on your screen, too. Distracting you.

    Imagine a closed door with me, a closed entrance: a firewall somewhere on this route, between what distracts me or makes me crazy, and what ends up in front of your mind, then, possibly, inside your mind.

    The correction lies in the following: to not use one of the key features of social media at all and ever again.

    That is, to share someone else’s­ content on your own page or account. Because that turns my stomach after a while.

    See, I want to make this whole thing work out for me, but if you come here, and you see a reblog of film gifs, another reblog about a detail of a painting by a painter, and another of some sort of activism, you get chaos on your screen.

    And that chaos then becomes what Code and Canvas is about.

    And that chaos is then in me. And then I present it to you. So, for the sake of clarity, as a cure for ambiguity, I am deleting all of the reblogs, reposts and what have you.

    Because I’d rather have that door closed shut than to have unwanted and unwelcome visitors, who then end up at your place as well.

    I want to be my own firewall. And ideally, I end up being yours as well.

    Fingers crossed. This needs to stick, for the sake of clarity, sanity.
