    Teaching through the lens of the Tool - with John Caserta

    On a hot day in the summer of 2024, my friend Cem Eskinazi brought a stack of books to our shared office. These publications had been designed at the Rhode Island School of Design (RISD), where Cem had studied. What was really special about them was that none of these books had been designed using proprietary layout software like Adobe. Instead, they had been developed entirely using code: HTML, CSS, and JavaScript and a Javascript library called bindery.js. This was an epiphany moment for me. I could not believe it: the quality of the publications was almost identical to that of the books I had on my shelf. The method is called WebToPrint, and it has many interesting features. John Caserta, Cem’s professor, introduced this way of working more than a decade ago at the RISD and guess what, I’ve had the opportunity to interview John about all of this. The conversation was incredibly inspiring to me. In him I’ve discovered a full-blooded and incredibly passionate design educator, whose teaching is rooted in values. I felt like John has a such a deep trust and admiration in design as a craft, for the process as a design subject itself. From that perspective, WebToPrint is an invitation to discover new pathways and processes, beyond proprietary software lock-ins and outrageously expensive subscription models. Thank you so much Cem and of course John. I’ve learned so much!

    Nico Landrieux on the Intersection of Ballet and Code

    Hi and welcome back to Demystify Technology! I am totally thrilled to introduce Nicolas Landrieux to you today. We met a few years ago at one of my workshops and have been in touch ever since. Nico is a vivid creative – with a background in graffiti he worked as a motion designer in Los Angeles, as a creative director for fashion brands in Germany and Belgium, he was a DJ, he is a music producer and most recently a director for dance theater. In May, the piece Vol[age] premiered at the Kunstkraftwerk in Leipzig and took the audience on an immersive journey through the development of computer technology. Nico composed and produced the music as well as all the visuals for the space. Much of these are renderings from Processing – creative coding played a hugely important role in the process. In this podcast we talk about his story, that piece and what’s up next for him. Enjoy!

    Kris de Decker on Low Technology

    Hi and welcome to the very first episode of Demystify Technology! In the two years I lived in Barcelona, one person in particular fascinated and inspired me. His name is Kris de Decker and he is head of lowtechmagazine.com. For almost 20 years, Kris has been publishing articles about a better life with less technology. He turns himself into a laboratory and a medium, venturing into worlds that remain closed to most of us. In our interview, we talk in particular about the question of how a utopian, lean and, above all, Big Tech-independent social Internet could look like. Enjoy!
