in some senses yes, but also in a very important sense no https://t.co/vKr7RItIB4
I think to be more precise: the most beautiful websites are beautiful in the way that magazines are beautiful, in the way that all beautiful things are beautiful - they are beautiful with respect to the context. There is nothing magically profound about any particular context
and fixating too hard on some prior context can be counter-productive if you try to force-fit it onto a new context. You may end up producing stale, derivative work. An electric guitar is not an acoustic guitar, and a website is not a paper magazine https://t.co/v0oUaGBY9g
THE QUALITY WITHOUT A NAME: to define it we must begin by understanding that every place is given its character by certain patterns of events that keep on happening there patterns can be alive or dead (infinite or finite?) living patterns set us free, dead ones keep us locked https://t.co/aMmddhICNt
Into The Spider-Verse is an A+ eg of art that’s done in a new medium (digital animation) that’s full of loving references to old mediums (physical paper comics). It really elevates both mediums in the process. Also... not every movie should be about comics https://t.co/ZyFONwAdaC
@visakanv I know how to make paper and my own ink. Heck, I just started learning how to tan my own hide, and I already know how to make my own clay tablets.Knowing how and being good at it? two different things. You're not supposed to raise your own goat, just befriend a goat farmer.
