When taste is fully automated it ceases to function as taste

I dont mean this as a personal dig, but this feels like an apt summation of the post Virgil Abloh design model. Sign, signifier, morality &originality eliminated as luxuries in the service of clout capture and superficial mindshare of the most visually illiterate rubes imaginable

ai videos like this amount to “peek-a-boo” for adults, new things continue happening on screen that don’t make sense, “surprising” the viewer every step of the way, ultimate level of soyface content for incurious minds

@Flomerboy Oh I meant this width to match, it’ll be less material to try and bend. Thickness is maybe still tough, but less tough

[mynameishamish @HamishTennent]

@Flomerboy If you can reduce the width of the backrest to the width of the legs then your getting more towards small workshop type bend-ability

[mynameishamish @HamishTennent]

@Flomerboy CNCing that curve is definitely the easier way to go, but I get you that the look is nowhere comparable to bending. If you are set on that width of wood to steam bend then then heat and pressure needed is going to be pretty industrial and would push you towards lamination

weird is good, there are already plenty of non-weird options for people who want something not weird — you should probably get weirder

Orange done and dusted and just two away from completing red. So at least now, I’ve completed the two lines I previously failed to finish.
