This for sure conveys a certain magic, I cannot quite explain how that happens honestly, but we have to recognize that the highly amateurish design makes for a more.. alive thing.

Hmmm, are we close to the next paradigm shift? :)

Perhaps there is a reason why after the perfectly smooth and metal-shining flying-saucers the next stage is usually biotechnologies..



Now you got me thinking about a notion i have when i see photos of houses for sale. All of them show rooms to styled and pristine that my first thought is that nobody lives there.

Any place where a human lives (unless they are suffering from some kind of OCD or whatever) inevitably end up having things stacked in corners or strewn across surfaces in a semi-random fashion. You can almost trace a timeline from what is on top of what.

I wonder if designers end up stuck trying to reproduce Platonic ideals, thus making everything look sterile.
