Wednesday's class introduced me to Charles and Ray Eames, a thoroughly interesting couple of many hats. (And apparently they were so inseparable that they even share the same Wikipedia article) I was really interested to see how influential they were in several different fields. As one with many pursuits, it's cool to see others excel in so many different areas.
The Do-Nothing Machine was really whimsical, it reminded me of a Rube Goldberg contraption, but instead of doing something poorly, it did nothing really well.
The interview by the French woman was also really entertaining, it seemed that Charles thought her questions about the meaning of design were a bit silly, and I would have to agree. I feel such restricting exercises are a bit pointless, as it seems to focus on what you can't do, rather than what you can.
