I attended a lecture by designer Massimo Vignelli last night. It was quite wonderful. Seeing an acknowledged leader of the profession say aloud the things I feel about design was quite refreshing. He lambasted PoMo just like I have so many times and we even have the same taste in typography! Glory, glory.
I used to be concerned about the end of the world, but now I see it as the beginning of something tremendous, a new epoch, a new stage of human existence. It’s closer than most people think. It won’t be in 2012, I think it will be this year. You can hear the winds of change blowing if you just stop and listen. A sense of generalized anxiety lay like a fog on the minds of those “tuned in”. I’m glad I have gotten to visit Seattle, because frankly, I’m not much for scuba diving. Hopefully I’ll make it to Los Angeles before it too becomes an artificial reef.
