Design Everywhere

Evergreen Podcasts, the network that brought you Design Everywhere, is pleased to introduce Countdown to Dallas. 

On the sixtieth anniversary of the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, former White House correspondent Paul Brandus takes an in-depth look at the seemingly unconnected events that led to that infamous afternoon in Dallas, Texas. He explores the troubled and broken life of Kennedy’s killer, Lee Harvey Oswald, and challenges six decades worth of conspiracy theories—none of which have been proven.

When we think of a designer’s toolkit, a vision of pens, pencils, markers, post-it’s, or software might come to mind. But there’s more to design than just putting pen to paper, or pixels on a screen. There are tools that help designers structure their thinking, create focus, or break free of their biases or constraints of their prior personal experience. These are the kinds of tools we’re going to talk about today. Well, not just the tools, but a community built around learning, experimenting, and sharing experiences with these tools. This is part two of my conversation with Stephen P. Anderson, creator of The Mighty Minds Club.

When we think of creativity, it's natural to define it through the lens of the specific craft we directly relate to. I'm a designer and musician, both professionally and personally. And even though I associate myself with both, it has taken me a long time to embrace my music background as a tool in my design work. Our conversation today explores the convergence of music, technology, and design in process, methodology, and the creation of experimental musical instruments. It's part one of a discussion with Haig Armen - professor, designer, and musician living in Vancouver, British Columbia. For the last 10+ years, Haig has led the Interaction Design program at Emily Carr University of Art + Design. His research explores music technology design, focusing on new gestural interfaces, data sonification, and music visualization. His most recent efforts are in design-led entrepreneurship and creating new musical instruments using emerging technologies.

In part two of my discussion with Derek Hess, we discuss his process for creating his art, from inspiration to putting lead and ink to paper, to printing. For more than 30 years, Derek has created art that has elevated musicians and music scenes, brought awareness to mental illness, and evoked, sometimes uncomfortably, emotions in the people the experience it across the globe.

There is something that drives great artists in a direction that they can call their own. It's a niche that somehow draws the person experiencing the art into an emotional state in very specific and personal ways. But very few artists have taken this gift and applied it to create things greater than the art itself. That's what our guest, Derek Hess, has done. Derek is a prolific artist that has played in a key role in building movements in his hometown of Cleveland, Ohio, and across the globe. We'll explore his journey from frying wings in the basement of the Euclid Tavern, to playing a key role in the resurgence of the rock poster art scene in the early '90s, to providing a platform and safe space for people, like himself, to share their experience living with mental illness.

Artificial Intelligence is often given a bad rap. It has an ever-increasing role as the supervillain in everything from science fiction to the nightly news. But is Artificial Intelligence to blame for the unintended mishaps or misuse of the technology? Behind every algorithm and every line of code, there is a human being. These people wield an ever-increasing amount of power over our lives. Our future will inevitably be impacted by code; it will keep us safe, it will take us to where we need to go, it will manage our finances, and myriad other situations. In this episode, we'll talk with Carol Smith, Senior Research Scientist in Human-Machine Interaction at Carnegie Mellon University’s Software Engineering Institute and former UX researcher Uber ATG and UX Design Manager at IBM Watson. We'll discuss the role of ethics in technology and more specifically, what it means to create Ethical Artificial Intelligence.
