I’m really enjoying these suspended installations by French artist Isa Barbier who uses feathers hung on filament to create abstract geometric volumes. These two works above are definitely my favorite but you can head over to Documents d’artistes …

"By this point in my life, I’d also had enough experience with government, corporations, and academic bureaucracies to understand what happens to organizations as they get larger. The middle-managers and empire-builders start to take root. Each problem results in a new guideline or process meant to prevent the problem from ever occurring again. Metrics are added, because managers can’t manage what they can’t measure. Individual incentives shift so far from the stated corporate goal that they actively work against it. Intrinsic motivation wanes. The ability to do truly great work all but disappears."

John Siracusa

I’m at a meeting right now, and it reminded me of this passage.

Here is something a I wrote for the Guardian:
Don is somewhat horrified by Megan’s “come hither “dance, not only because he’s forced to share the hot missus’s charms with others, but also because it’s more difficult to compartmentalise. The culture is opening up and the firewalls are coming down. And for a guy like Don Draper, who posses such a fractured view of himself, walls are important. As a predictor of how things are going to turn out, look no further than the opening sequence. Mad Men has essentially always been about one thing: falling. Like the silhouetted figure plummeting down between high rises, we are all at the mercy of the drop.
All the most important Mad Men Gifs come from Bohemea, she is a muse and an artist!

See that false burrito. See it swaddled in tinfoil on the desk in the bowels of that great tower, a bundle of meat and sauce in a place long ago ceded to silicone and copper. The stooped man eating that peasant…

There were a variety of cakes and sweet things there. The desserts paraded by in their desperate decadence, at once a fading and colorless memory.

A Bavarian chocolate cake stood apart, on a…
