40 Trillion DPI is a show about all the ways design manifests. It's about design both as a discipline and a cultural product. Each episode, Helen Ip and Justin Carder (two designers/weirdos/friends) get together to talk about the world through the lens of design. Thanks for hanging out with us!

  1. The Texture of Life (Frictionless Medieval Sludgeshop)

    8 SEPT

    The Texture of Life (Frictionless Medieval Sludgeshop)

    This week, we get Canva-ified with Instagram's new creator tools, we are hot on the case of international rings of AI slop shops, and we spend an afternoon in our plague masks and corsets at the design Ren Faire!

  2. American Design Carnage

    13 AUG

    American Design Carnage

    This week—on 40 Trillion DPI America Design Carnage Edition—we get into the brief life of a briefly created logo, we consider word art in official government docs, we learn about online dating streaming services (RIP), and we consider the sartoriality of the postal service uniform! ALSO: we made a cool new hat! It says “free fonts” on it, embroidered in an authentic hand-drawn free font. It is black. It is a “dad hat.” See the hats for yourself and find the link to buy at designfreaks.cafe or on our instagram. Music in this episode is by Human Gazpacho, from Free Music Archive.

    Adobe BearTrap 2000

    This week we get lost in the cursed wilderness of legalese trying to update our subscription to Adobe Bear Trap’s AI Swiss typography generator AND we get social at the design gym with the Mondo 2000 cyber phreak fractal polycule.

  4. Performative Novel Gestures

    6 JUNE

    Performative Novel Gestures

    This week we frolic into the abundant wilderness to write poems with our tattooed hands in monochrome Notion, on our Daylight Computers and we are healed! We sip the viscous black liquid dripping from America’s Mayor, and we are healed! AND we take a five minute pit stop that takes 36 hours in the twisted metal symphony of the Helios House Speedway Express gas station concert hall, and we are healed!

    Huvudroll's Total Path

    Hi everyone! This week we talk about IKEA's brazen theft of artist Tim Lahan's work for their SF food hall; we celebrate weirdo interstitial illustrations in the AutoDesk "State of Design and Make 2024" report; AND we step into the path of social contract totality at the recent total solar eclipse!

  6. Astral Corgi Ego Death w/Holiday Black

    Astral Corgi Ego Death w/Holiday Black

    This week we’re joined by our friend, Holiday Black. Holiday is a concept-forward art director with a passion for youth culture, creativity, and their two cats. They’ve been art directing for the past four years, and have had the opportunity to work on alcohol, fast food, cars, fashion, and footwear. Outside of work, Holiday can be found crafting, looking for hot springs, reading a book, or googling whether or not mercury is in retrograde. You can find Holiday’s work at www.holiday.black. We talk with Holiday about their work, royal photoshop fails, corgi eugenics, and design as a portal to spiritual ego death and ultimately enlightenment. Thanks for listening! Ciao!

    Bathed in Bisexual Lighting

    This week we spend our life savings on numerological sports betting meal deal life hacks at whop.com; and we quit school to work on our sports betting meal deal life hack startup with a grant from Molly Mielke’s Moth Fund; and then we bathe in the bisexual lighting cast by a full screen view of Monotype’s neuroscience type reports. Turns out we were right all along!

    This week we bring fine art to our fine faces with Marina Abramovic’s new line of spiritually-invigorating skincare products. We get a head start on our 2024 thumb fitness goals with T-9 in our TV at CES. AND we go into existential crisis mode in a post-creator world with whatever Metalabel is.
