LEGO Architecture Studio

I highly recommend LEGO Architecture Studio to anyone who is interested in how spaces shape human interactions. The book is great, and the idea behind it as a learning tool is even better. Nice for kids and adults.

Museum Sleepover Stories
by virtualbri on 14 Jan, 2014 - 0 comments
Museum sleepovers are quite the thing now days, and I think they’re a great way to increase engagement of young museum goers. Kids especially are exposed to learning from a different angle. Simply, more time at the place equals more immersion, and more chances for learning to stick.
But that immersion could be so much more.
Tuition Costs & Gov. Support via The Atlantic
by virtualbri on 12 Jan, 2014 - 0 comments
RE: Futureproofing and R&D:
Undergrad tuition across the US is $62.6 Billion dollars, and the government spends $69 on tax breaks and grants.
The Atlantic makes a strong argument that we should just give that money straight to the schools, and drop tuition costs dramatically.
Futureproofing and the R&D Dilemma
by virtualbri on 10 Jan, 2014 - 0 comments
At the last TEA mixer the topic of Research and Development and preparing for the future came up, and I had a good discussion with some folks about where advances actually come from.
The cutting edge never comes from clients, and only comes from setting aside time for R&D and explorations, preferably outside the confines of a job entirely.

A current conversation reminded me of a commercial I was on where the client asked for “Pixar quality” on their very limited schedule and budget.
The client asked for a fully animated photoreal Statue of Liberty in New York Harbor talking about their product as the camera flew around her.
In The Same Boat vs Last Man Standing

I’ve joined a trade group from Themed Entertainment, the TEA as I’m doing media consulting on a few interactive projects,and my long term goal, is to work at a design place helping come up with attractions. My background in VFX is my starting point to learn the details of the field.
Attending TEA networking mixers, people often ask me about the VFX industry, and how comparable it is to what I’ve seen in Themed Entertainment.
Dave Cobb’s “Cosplay Colonists”

My friend David C. Cobb just put up the talk he gave at SATE (a conference on Storytelling, Architecture, Technology and Experience I was lucky enough to go to) in October. It’s smart stuff, well worth *any* creative persons’ read.
