What It’s Like To Be A Woman Making Video Games | Jezebel

Guest Editorial by Whitney Hills.

Quotables:

“At some of these studios, there are literally no other women in sight. There’s a women’s bathroom, but the light is always off, because you’re the only one who uses it, and you have to fumble for it in the dark. If it’s nighttime and you’re walking down the vacated hallway of a shared office building in an unfamiliar city to a bathroom only you use, you feel afraid you’ll be cornered.”

**************

“When there’s a decision to be made about who from the company will go visit a developer to discuss a new project, you are told that they really need to send “a guy’s guy… Someone who can hold his liquor, drink a lot with the developers, and earn their trust.” Definitely not you.”

10 Essential Fashion Documentaries | Flavorwire

Posted on by

New York Fashion Week opened earlier this week, and we’re celebrating with a list of essential fashion documentaries that go behind the scenes of the industry.

via 10 Essential Fashion Documentaries | Flavorwire.

I have watched The September Issue and Valentino: The Last Emperor and thought the subject matter fascinating. I highly recommend watching any of the films on the list just to see a glimpse of driven creative genius at work, as well as the uncompromising visions of the designers and fashion elite. These films and the others on the list are must see for fashion, art and culture aficionados. They are well worth watching to capture a glimmer of understanding of the fantasy that is the fashion industry and the effects of the fashion machine on society.

8 Objects That Signal a New Industrial Revolution | Gizmodo

Posted on by

Are we on the verge of a third industrial revolution? The editors at The Economist certainly think so. But while rapid prototyping and the open source movement have been around for decades now, we had yet to see anyone take a truly comprehensive look at the transformation in manufacturing. That is, until the New Museum’s latest show, Adhocracy, came along.

Adhocracy is, in the word of its curator, Domus editor Joseph Grima, “an exhibition about people who make things.”

The objects vary, but the ethos stays the same: making is no longer the purview of companies which manufacture millions of the same object. It’s the right of individuals, who are manufacturing one or two objects to fit their own unique needs, then passing along their code.
