On Velocity

Velocity is speed in a given direction. Speed describes only how fast an object is moving, whereas velocity gives both the speed and direction of the object’s motion.

To have a constant velocity, an object must have a constant speed and motion in a constant direction. Constant direction typically constrains the object to motion in a straight path.

Fixing The Future

“We are here to be the catalyst for social change; we will push new ideas and innovations that are necessary for a responsible future.”

Social innovation is the process of designing, developing and growing new ideas that work to meet pressing unmet needs. The term is a relatively new one, but there is a long history of social innovators and examples of social innovation – from kindergartens to hospices, arts as a communication tool, responsible cities and from the cooperative movement to crowdfunding.

Globally, social innovation is rapidly becoming established.  SIX is an example on working hard to connect, support, and inspire social innovation practitioners as they emerge.

Music For The Masses

“Getting around is still the city’s biggest hindrance to getting ahead.  If Montréal consistently ranks high on many quality-of-life listings it is little thanks to the people charged with running it.  While the city is justifiably lauded for it’s succesful incubator of high-tech and cultural industries, Montréal’s mass transit, roads and bridges are in sore need of an upgrade: the average commute in Montréal is 76 minutes.

Fortunately, convivial and cosmopolitan Montréalers still make up the difference. The city hardly lacks for intellectual and creative capital, or the urban stratagems necessary to make it the envy of North America.  The city has long been on the cusp of a rennaissance; all it needs is a cleaner, less bloated municipal government to help get it there.”

Fictional Landscapes

“My practice is primarily concerned with the notion of the imagined landscape. I present man-made objects and natural materials simultaneously to form carefully and meticulously composed installation works. I capitalize on intrigue taking objects out of context reinventing their use, pushing the viewer to see beyond what I present before them, a glass could be interpreted as a lake or a metal bracket a cliff.” – Kyle Kirkpatrick (via This Is Collosal)

Keep The Change

“Change is inevitable… except from a vending machine - Robert C. Gallagher
