On the importance of form experiments
From Lars Forsberg's text:
"At the age of ten, he didn’t know the difference between utopia and dystopia. Not that anybody expected him to, not even his parents, both of whom were schoolteachers. "
"A few people wash up on a desert isle after their ship has sunk. Their chances of survival are nil. Nightmares make sleep impossible. Venomous lizards slither at their feet, while blind, black birds circle in the skies above. "
"Once he had been making his mark on the industry for twenty years, an established publisher wanted to put out a book containing a long interview and all of his work. The result was a doorstopper, a huge brick of a thing which, brick symbolism notwithstanding, did not contain much about industrialism."
"He spent the rest of the weekend incorporating them into a design experiment based on junk found on the ground."
"The cat had slipped out after lunch and hadn’t come back. Now he began worrying about missing the ferry. He found her under the storage shed, unconcerned about departure times and uninterested in design experiments, regardless of their originality."
