Designing Interactions with the Earth from Interaction Design Association on Vimeo.

When we take in the number and magnitude of threats to the survival of humans as well as countless other species, the future looks grim. As we view the array of disruptions and disasters coming at us in the rush of climate change, we are apt to lose ourselves in resignation and grief. How can we find anything positive to guide us? How might we invoke technology and agency in ways that promote healing of the earth and of ourselves? In this time of daunting challenges, what does successful transformation look like? And how can designers be part of such transformations?

Brenda often reminds design students that “We can’t design from despair.” A corollary is: “hope is an active verb.” In the developments and inventions examined in this talk, we will see how hope is an essential ingredient. That doesn’t mean that everything has to be a success. When design ideas don’t work as we’d imagined, we reflect on our “interesting failures” and learn. And then we move on.

How does the planet feed 8 billion people in the face of the pollution and habitat destruction caused by industrial farming of plants and animals? How might we reframe “conservation” as restoration? How might we attenuate plastic pollution and keep fast fashion out of landfills? How can we address the drivers of deforestation? How might we design and engineer methods for slowing glacial melt and atmospheric heating? There are innovative and promising answers to those questions bubbling up in the minds of designers, scientists, engineers, and transdisciplinary teams all over the world. Brenda’s keynote will review some of those efforts, identify what they have in common, and explore how we might employ those commonalities as heuristics for designing positive interactions with the Earth.

LIAFF SPECIAL #13: Ari Aster - Fra pazzia e surrealismo

Carissimi lettori, ben ritrovati con un nuovo appuntamento con LIAFF SPECIAL, la rubrica dedicata all’approfondimento di personaggi e temi nel mondo dell’intrattenimento. Questo mese parleremo di un regista il quale, nonostante sia molto giovane e abbia all'attivo pochissimi lungometraggi, si è già imposto nell'attuale scena cinematografica con il suo stile tanto unico quanto folle, ovvero Ari Aster. In questo articolo esploreremo le sue origini cinematografiche, fino ad analizzare i tre film da lui diretti in maniera dettagliata, scorrendo i vari significati all'interno di ogni pellicola, e andremo vedere che cosa riserva il futuro a questo regista davvero incredibile.

"New Mexico kid": chi è Ari Aster?

Ari Aster nasce il 15 Luglio 1986 a New York City. Questo si avvicina davvero molto presto al mondo del cinema, dato che all'età di 4 anni vide per la prima volta Dick Tracy (1990) e rimase sconvolto dalla scena in cui il protagonista sparava a un muro di fuoco con una mitraglietta. Per breve tempo visse in Inghilterra, poichè il padre aveva aperto un nightclub jazz, e poi tornò negli Stati Uniti, passando il resto della sua infanzia ad Albuquerque, in New Mexico. Inizialmente Aster voleva diventare uno scrittore e, durante gli anni del liceo, aveva già firmato sei sceneggiature, mostrando una certa passione per il genere horror, e nel 2004 iniziò a studiare alla Santa Fe University of Art and Design. Quattro anni dopo si diploma ed esordisce come sceneggiatore del cortometraggio Tale of Two Tims, che usò come materiale di presentazione per l'AFI (American Film Institute), in cui fu amesso nel 2010, dandogli modo di intraprendere una specializzazione come regista. Dopo essersi diplomato all'AFI Conservatory, Aster iniziò a scrivere numerosi cortometraggi fra il 2011 e il 2018, facendo squadra con due suoi compagni di corso, Alejandro de Leon e Pawel Pogorzelski. Il suo lavoro più notevole di questa prima fase è The Strange Thing About the Johnsons (2011), che narra di un padre che subisce abusi sessuali da suo figlio, inizialmente presentato dal regista come tesi all'AFI Conservatory, per poi essere proiettato a vari festival cinematografici e finendo persino su YouTube, dove è diventato virale.

Hereditary: una tragedia familiare horror

Nel 2017 Ari Aster mise mano a quello che sarebbe stato il suo primo lungometraggio vero e proprio, ovvero Hereditary. Ciò accadde per via dell'interesse suscitato da The Strange Thing About the Johnsons e da un'altro cortometraggio da lui diretto, Munchausen (2014), che attirò l'attenzione della casa di produzione A24. Il film, diretto e scritto dallo stesso Aster, si presentava come un dramma familiare a tinte horror e diviso in due distinte fasi, le quali sono collegate l'un l'altra, partendo come una tragedia familiare e finendo in un vero e proprio incubo. Per scrivere il film Aster ha tratto ispirazione da opere come Carrie (1976), The Cook, the Thief, His Wife and Her Lover (1989), ma anche da testi inerenti la magia e le figure demoniache, che ha usato per caratterizzare la figura del re demoniaco Paimon. Toni Collette fu una delle prime scelte di Aster per il ruolo di Annie Graham, e dopo una certa riluttanza, lei accettò il progetto per l'approccio innovativo della sceneggiatura sul piano del dramma familiare. Al cast si unirono anche Gabriel Byrne, Alex Wolff, Milly Shapiro, una giovane attrice di Broadway allora al suo debutto al cinema, che fu scelta da Aster per via della sua personalità, che ha aiutato molto nella costruzione del personaggio di Charlie, e Ann Dowd. Girato nello stato dello Utah, il film fu presentato in anteprima al Sundance Festival del 2018, per poi uscire nelle sale cinematografiche pochi mesi più tardi, dove incassò un totale di 83 millioni di dollari a fronte di un budget di 10 millioni, portandolo a diventare il film di maggiore incasso della storia di A24, record che sarebbe poi stato battuto nel 2022 da Everything Everywhere All at Once (2022). Il film fu accolto molto positivamente dal pubblico e dalla critica, che lo definisce un film terrificante dall'inizio alla fine, molto disturbante, che guarda al passato del genere horror e con un particolare elogio alla performance di Toni Collette.

Midsommar: un horror a tinte pagane

A seguito del successo di Hereditary, nel 2018 fu annunciato che Aster avrebbe diretto un secondo lungometraggio, Midsommar, prodotto da Lars Knudsen e ancora una volta distribuito da A24. Inizialmente il film, proposto dalla B-Reel Films ad Aster, doveva essere un horror slasher ambientato in Svezia, ma in seguito lui reimmaginò la sceneggiatura, basandola su due protagonisti che sperimentano problemi nel loro rapporto e che devia verso un concept di stampo horror folk, anche se in realtà c'è molto di più. Come fonte d'ispirazione per il film, Aster si rifà a Modern Romance (1981), ma anche al folklore della Scandinavia, avendo lavorato con il designer Henrik Svensson per rappresentare gli usi e le tradizioni degli Hårga, rifacendosi anche ad antichi rituali e festività pagane, nonchè al pensiero del filosofo austriaco Rudolf Steiner. Il cast, annunciato a Luglio 2018, comprendeva Florence Pugh, Jack Reynor, Will Poulter, William Jackson Harper, Vilhem Blomgren, Ellora Torchia e Archie Madekwe. Le riprese avvennero negli Stati Uniti e in Ungheria, quest'ultima utilizzata per ricreare l'ambientazione svedese del film, le quali furono costellate da momenti difficili, per via del caldo e delle vespe, ma anche di fasi positive, con il cast che ha elogiato il loro lavoro assieme a Aster. Le musiche, di stampo folk nordico, furono affidate a Bobby Krlic, il quale fu scelto da Aster dopo che questo aveva ascoltato il suo album Excavation (2013) durante la scrittura del film. Il film fu rilasciato in anteprima all'Alamo Drafthouse Cinema a Giugno 2019, per poi uscire nelle sale il mese successivo nelle sale cinematografiche. Il film incassò 48 millioni di dollari a fronte di un budget di 9 millioni e fu particolarmente apprezzato dal pubblico e dalla critica, che ne sottolineano l'ambiziosa messa in scena, l'atmosfera ansiosa, l'attenzione al dettaglio e le sublimi performance attoriali, su cui spicca quella di Florence Pugh. Il film ha anche una director's cut, di circa 170 minuti, distribuita su Apple TV+ e in home video, la quale caratterizza maggiormente alcune parti della pellicola.

Beau is Afraid: un'odissea surreale

Nel 2021, A24 annunciò che Ari Aster avrebbe diretto un terzo lungometraggio, inizialmente intitolato Disappointment Blvd., per poi chiamarsi Beau is Afraid, quest'ultimo titolo scelto per via di uno dei corti dello stesso Aster, intitolato Beau (2011), il cui soggetto sarebbe stato utilizzato per una sequenza del film. Aster definisce questo film una commedia da incubo, un viaggio a la Lord of the Rings dove il protagonista deve ritrovare la strada per tornare da sua madre, ma soprattutto come una surreale e metaforica odissea. Come fonte d'ispirazione, Aster si rifà a Playtime (1967), Rear Window (1954) e Defending Your Life (1991), anche se i critici hanno trovato altri riferimenti cinematografici all'interno della pellicola. Il film vede come protagonista Joaquin Phoenix, che guida un cast di stelle, con le riprese che si sono tenute in Canada e ha un budget di 35 millioni di dollari, che lo rese il film più costoso di A24 all'epoca, record recentemente battuto da Civil War (2024). La colonna sonora fu nuovamente affidata a Bobby Krlic, le cui note ricalcano alla perfezione ogni fase del folle viaggio compiuto da Beau. Il film debuttò ad Aprile 2023 durante una proiezione del Directors Guild of America, seguito da una serie di eventi successivi per promuovere il film, accompagnati da dei Q&A moderati da personaggi del calibro di Emma Stone e Martin Scorsese, per poi uscire nelle sale cinematografiche pochi giorni più tardi, dove incassò solo 12 millioni di dollari. Il film ha ricevuto un riscontro positivo dalla critica, che lo definisce un folle viaggio di auto-flagellazione, ben diretto da Aster e magistralmente interpretato da Phoenix, in uno dei migliori ruoli della sua carriera.

Eddington: un western ai tempi della pandemia

Con soli tre lungometraggi all'attivo, Ari Aster si è rivelato essere uno dei registi più affascinanti dell'attuale panorama cinematografico, con uno stile unico e che muta in base alla storia che racconta. E se pensate che non vedremo più nulla di suo, vi sbagliate di grosso. Come regista, Aster è al lavoro sulla sua prossima pellicola, intitolata Eddington, un film a cavallo fra western e black comedy ambientato durante la pandemia da COVID-19 (sì, avete letto bene), con un cast davvero imponente, capitanato da Joaquin Phoenix, Pedro Pascal, Emma Stone e Austin Butler. Ma Aster si è messo anche a produrre film, come il recentissimo Dream Scenario (2023), con protagonista Nicolas Cage, Sasquatch Sunset (2024), con Jesse Eisenberg e Riley Keough e Rumours (2024) con Cate Blanchett, quest'ultimo parte dei film che debutteranno al prossimo festival di Cannes, e ha fatto un'accordo con A24 per produrre serie televisive. Insomma, c'è davvero motivo per cui essere entusiasti, specialmente se si è fan del lavoro fatto da questo promettentissimo cineasta.

Artist Research #6

Artists: John Willis

Name: "Recycled realities" (2006)

Date: 2006 

Size: 9 x 11 inches

Medium: photography

Published in 2006 by Center for American Places, inc. Santa Fe, New Mexico 87502, USA. 

John Willis received his RI master of fine arts degree in photography from the Rhode Island School of Design in 1984. John began his professional career as a professor in the same college. Later on, he continued teaching photography in various schools like Harvard University. John has supported the world of photography significantly, and a clear example of that is his act as co-founder of the In-sight Photography Project (an organization that offers free photography courses). A few of John's standout works include "Recycled Realities: Views From the Reservation," "Views from the Reservation," "Mni Wiconi - Water Is Life: Honoring the Water Protectors at Standing Rock and Everywhere in the Ongoing Struggle for Indigenous Sovereignty," and "Aging in White." 

Awards: 

Some of his important awards include the John Simon Guggenheim Memorial, Foundation Fellowship in Photography (2011), and 2019 Gold Medal for Best Regional Book from Foreword Indies with work "Mini Wiconi: Water is Life; Honoring the Water Protectors at Standing Rock and Everywhere in the Ongoing Struggle for Indigenous Sovereignty" and Open Society Institute Community Engagement Grant.

Physical description of the work: 

The book has a hard cover to ensure durability. It is approximately 9 x 11 inches, and the cover design features related to the theme. The interior consists of high-quality photographs printed on thick Glossy paper. The layout balances images accompanying them with text. Overall, it is a well-crafted, visually appealing book with a messy but intriguing cover and black color.

I was carried away by appearances when choosing this book. When I saw this black book with an intriguing cover, I thought it could be a good selection. After reading a little of the content, it was confusing to understand the work, but it left me with a great reflection on our waste. Since recycling interests me, it got me thinking about the stories on paper, the life they once had, and the life they will have. After all, I liked just seeing the photographs: direct but simultaneously complicated since it was difficult to understand the shapes. Somehow, it was nice watching trash transform into something aesthetic and pleasant.

A woman's body was discovered in a car trunk, and a man was arrested. 

A man, Matthew Switalski, was arrested for murder after a woman's body was found in the trunk of a burned vehicle in Lancaster. The suspect, Switalski, is the owner of the home where the victim, Veronica Aguilar, 27, was found. The two were believed to be dating at one point. On December 20, emergency crews responded to a fire burning at a home in the 41400 block of 38th Street West. Heavy smoke and fire came from the garage, and two charred vehicles were found inside, along with Aguilar's body in the trunk of a car. Switalski was later determined to be a suspect in the woman's death and was taken into custody on murder charges. The events leading up to Aguilar's death remain unclear as authorities continue investigating the case. It's unfortunate; may she rest in peace as justice is served.

[themoonobserved]

that post about for-profit colleges is absolutely true, i went to a for-profit art school and graduated and now it’s closing, after basically failing in all it’s promises to almost everyone after charging ridiculous amounts for tuition. i worked extremely hard to get my degree despite numerous set-backs the school would not address (bad on-campus therapy, a thriving rape culture, favoritism and elitism in departments). 

I am truly impressed (and a bit jealous) of the people who could really make it work after going to my school, they were working for themselves and focusing on their goals!

4/25/20.

I’m going to immediately give credit to Mariana Timony (Bandcamp) for highlighting this in their “Weekly Essential Releases” on 4/24.  I really don’t know what to say about Brendan Eder.  He is classical, pop, new-age (there are parts of this release that could belong on a Windham Hill release), and indie all at the same time.  And I know I’m prone to hyperbole and comparison, but I challenge anyone to see another release like this in our bandcampsnoop history (use hashtags).  I had a short email interview with him and he said that, “I went to a small liberal arts school called Santa Fe University of Art & Design.  There I was able to stuy recording, basic composition and orchestration and play in a math rock group called Emergency Room.”   

Brendan Eder could somehow make William Tell’s Overture sound like pop.  He can also out chamber-pop Sufjan Stevens.  He makes David Byrne sound like an amateur composer (and this is coming from someone who adores David Byrne and will always tout his “Music for the Knee Plays”).  This is really that good.  Honestly, I can’t imagine that someone as talented as Neil Hannon (the Divine Comedy, The Duckworth-Lewis Method) wouldn’t look at this and say, “Wow...I wish I had made this album”.  In our email interview Brendan said this of his influences:  “The music is inspired by early 20th century classical music, Miles Davis, Aphex Twin, [Antonio Carlos] Jobim, Fugazi, Dave Brubeck, Les Baxter, and hip hop.

Brendan Eder’s career is just starting.  He is a Los Angeles, California based musician who has corralled the likes of Colleen Green (”The Spirit of”).

I rarely say this, but I sincerely feel like I’m witnessing a musical genius.  I’m just not sure which genre he will consistently display his genius in.

Hey guys I haven’t posted my film stuff in a while, so here’s my latest project:

A short documentary on Coco Caliente, a drag performer for a local cabaret that I do videography for

If you live in the northern New Mexico area, I encourage you to come to Santa Fe and experience one of their drag shows cause its a lot of fun and you won’t be disappointed!

[thecrb15]

Welp I got into me dream school, then they suspended the entire freshman class because of finance troubles and management. I also don't have a backup. FUCKING GREAT SPRING BREAK YOU GUYS. FUCKING GREAT WEEK FOR ME. Thanks Santa fe university of art and design. Thanks for letting me taste my dreams for a solid month. (It was probably that or close the school next year but I still have the right to be angry. Also they sent a list of colleges that will give processing priority to the rejected students. BUT AGAIN, STILL MAD.)

[morganpdf]

i think abt the fact that he didnt get into the music program a lot tho

sometimes i think abt how i attended the same college as macklemore & that all my friends called me macklemorgan bc of it
