Pushing through the dip: on process and perseverance, or something
I WANT TO MAKE ‘N’ for London and Copenhagen and Ha Noi this year, and I’m going to just have to keep on inviting people until we find the magic sets of 16 per city. Bearing with me are the guests who’ve joined so far. I’m so lucky and grateful that a few of us are on for new things, for challenges, for learning as we go, for mixing it up, for giant blind dates, and for, yes, the human connection that can happen when we unplug, show up, say hi.
‘N’ Copenhagen: A conversation about NEARNESS
‘N’ IS A CONVERSATION installation in which 16 people whose paths never would have cross will meet ONCE. It’s an international series, and in each city (which will necessarily contain an ‘N’), we have a theme that starts with ‘N’. The theme for ‘N’ Copenhagen is NEARNESS.
What is NOW? by ‘N’ Bangkok
‘NOW’ IS AS EPHEMERAL AS EVER. Am I doing what is important to me, making the most it? Can I at least help someone else to answer ‘yes’ to that question? And would it be okay to just relish in not being exhausted for a moment, now?
Thinking of Bangkok
‘Bangkok’ January 2015INVENTING DIALOGUE SPACE is sort of a lofty goal, I realize, but it IS one way for us to connect. I know that ostensibly meeting strangers in a short space can be great for networking for business, or just making friends, but it’s also… I’m not sure how to put this, but… it’s also a way for us to discover who we are, and begin to see that there are so many other ways of thinking about the SAME topic or idea. And that the ‘scholars’ don’t have copyright on thinking out loud, together.

When scientists hate logic

IT’S NOT ABOUT VISUALS, or smart and overpromising headlines. It’s about what’s here, right here, in our connected, subconscious, unconscious, and querying minds and hearts. It’s about our asking questions, and discovering, in doing so, our very humanness.
Design is in motion for new ‘N’ events in Bangkok, London, and Copenhagen
YOU MIGHT BE WONDERING what all this ‘N’ stuff is about. That’s cool, I mean, I think that part of […]
