It was Hunter S. Thompson that Ralph Steadman worked with. Interesting film about the two of them (but mainly Thompson) here

For Ming -Duane Michals
My favorite American photographer.
Michals' work makes innovative use of photo-sequences, often incorporating text to examine emotion and philosophy-McKenna, Kristine-

Book: Symbol by Angus Hyland http://www.laurenceking.com/product/Symbol.htm
Examples of Generative logos (yes, it's the correct word!)

EDP by Sagmeister: http://www.sagmeister.com/work/featured#/node/460
I think this can't be considered generative, but follows the idea of having one brand with different "faces". Other examples of this concept:

About travels:
People tend to become actors when they are travelling. They are actors of their own life (Ken Hollings underlined the characteristic sensations you’re confronted to when entering in an airport. You mentally project yourself in a film where you are the hero). Although there is millions ways of interacting and dealing with space, time and movement, there might be an overall feeling that can reach a majority. When travelling, everything is upside down. You must leave the clan you’re part of to join another clan. It implies that you should adapt yourself to new social codes. Reproduce the same local schemes that you observe around you. That’s a survival reaction. Death or adaptability. Then there is the idea of geographical change. Both body and mind should deal with modified climates, landscape, seasons. People enjoy it and call it exoticism. Finally there is the idea of sensationalism: Travel might be more and more accessible nowadays (development of charters, globalisation…) but it remains a not-so-common occupation, and is associates to a strong collective imaginarium. Travel, in a way, is fulfilment. Nomads move because their land isn’t hospitable anymore. They walk until they find what they need to live. I call that survival. We can apply that model to our modern settled society. We might not be nomads anymore, but I would classify that travel gateway as an animal passion. It’s an unconscious feeling, and it’s not moderate by the reason. If you do not feel good, well, then you do have to leave.
About travel diaries:
Since human have been able to translate feelings into words, and words into writing, they created a tool that they used to report, either a common knowledge, or their inner sensible perception.
Travel diary is a written, visual and sensitive document, translation of a journey. It is a report. People spread on paper what they want to keep, or share, as a way of accessing eternity (describing and projecting yourself and the world in an object that will survive you). One’s would say that a travel diary has legitimacy, and have been by the past a great help to hordes of anthropologists, geographs and scientists.
It might be the case, but nowadays the whole planet has been put into Google Earth and it is not relevant anymore to say that your travel in Kenya was out of the beaten track. Most of the time diaries are fail intent to touch other sensibilities. They are too personal and do not communicate. We must recreate an adapted way of sharing travel experiences within the characteristics of our society.
I love to travel, and I love to read about travels. Although I never enjoyed travel diaries. They are not carrying anything that you expect from them. In opposition to travel guides, travel diaries are treated by one person, which means from a single point of view. How can you reach a wide audience? They should convey everything, but they are obsolete and treat exoticism as an ornament to the boredom of our lives.
About not conveying anything, here is terrible quality photographies of my trip. See you tmrw!

Book v screen
Very interesting debate on Radio 4, broadcast today. See http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b015cslc. The discussion starts about 11 minutes in. Some of the content is similar to what was discussed in the group yesterday, although thankfully none of us spoke like one of the contributors.

For Ferdinand
I am going to a music/visual festival in Poland next week and this is one of the talks
Presentation: “Face to Facebook – Hacking Monopolism Trilogy,” with Paolo Cirio and Alessandro Ludovico
Face to Facebook was a social experiment: stealing 1 million Facebook profiles, filtering them with face-recognition software and posting on a custom-made dating website (lovely-faces.com). The aim: to give virtual identities a shared place to expose themselves freely, breaking Facebook's constraints and boring social rules. The reaction: huge media coverage, as well as lawsuits and death threats.
Tickets: Free
don't know if you are a member of the blog yet I'll email also

Visualising the Desing Process
Every story has a beginning (briefing), middle (design process) and an end (end product). I am interested in what happens in between. The thinking process. Currently theories of the process are visualised with dry infographics, not taking into consideration that the process changes according to project and designer.
When giving the same briefing to a group of designers, how does the design process change what comes out at the end?

Holiday break report
Dear all,
How is it going?
I just post to present you my work in progress, what I did so far, and where I am heading right now.
A quick reminder of the state of my subject when I last meet you: Mapping the unseen (following the project of Stephen Boyd Davis), an emotional cartography.
Biomapping is a neologism. It’s a humanized way of drawing maps. Although maps are already hundred per cent human: they are a representation (made of symbols) and they are a technical process (handrawing, printing…), the biomapping aims to reveal the human hidden behind the map. This human is a sensitive living being, and is going in opposition to the “dead” unsurprising rigorist geographical maps that we are used to, which will represent spaces, more than life within spaces.
They are rational, trustworthy and precise, and serve the community (by their capability of being impersonal, collective and common). In opposition, biomapping [from the Greek βιο / life] would be the translation of the irrational, the subjective and the personal. Though it might follows the same process of representation.
How did I come up wit this idea of live maps? Human beings are seeking for exoticism. In our quest of happiness, we tend to look toward what we can’t see, because it might hide a world of possibility. Reading a map is heading somewhere, mentally escaping to another reality. Where do you want to go, says the map?
In the other hand, the science of cartography is a systematic representation of either satellite views, either architectural drawings, and remains a very down to earth and expectable way of saying how a place looks like.
The exoticism tends to disappear, and that’s the point I will actually focus on along the year.
There are three medias I will work on, relatively associated to this travel outcome.
-Travel guides
-Travel diaries
-Maps
These are three distinct commercial products, but there shouldn’t be any reasons for them to be divided, as a support, as they tend to reach the same aim: travel is about experiencing, sharing, learning and challenging yourself. It’s a living experience and we could say that it overlays three realities: the past (travel guide), the present (maps) and the future (travel diary).
Tomorrow I’ll present you some ideas I had to develop the project.
On the photo you can see Aleksei, he is a vory v zakonye (legitimate thief) and I met him in the Transsiberian, one night. As you can see, he tattooed on his chest two stars, meaning that he belongs and is a high member of this cast of thieves.
Believe me, this guy was a bad guy!
