IDS - the online version gives you access, to me it feels more like a bunch of cold calls, and I miss the personal touch of a fair, but lets hope the new times also enable more digital, but real connections! - The event is also bravely live!

How has your artistic practice shifted in this time of social distancing and COVID-19 (surprises, possibilities or challenges)?  - For me (after a short time of frustration) it has also been the reminder of the change we can make in the world, if we just commit to it: shutting down complete industries and reducing emmissions/ seeing what is actually essential/ things we took for granted/... actually it is a time of great changes and new possibilities, to be able to survive the 21 century. The "good old days"-boat is sinking, and we have work to do!

Honoured to have been part of this international Grand Jury for the A´Design Award. It was an amazing experience to catch a glimpse of so many new works and talented designers. 

Sure, one needs input and exercise to create, enough time to test and experiment with new ideas so they can develop, and clearly a comprehensive working method to really create awesome stuff—but in my opinion one also needs that spark somewhere in the process: the promise that something will be greater than the sum of its parts. Do you agree? What is your experience?
Yesterday, a new idea arrived in the middle of a dream, and I rushed out of bed to find pen and paper to sketch it out before it slipped away.
Today, the work of producing this new idea in full begins.
