Danish professor Thomas Mejer Hansen used one of my patterns for Néojaponsime for his recent paper “Inverse problems with non-trivial priors: Efficient solution through Sequential Gibbs Sampling”, co-authored with Knud Skou Cordua and Klaus Mosegaard. This essay examines how an analysis of pattern can allow incorporation of prior information of arbitrary complexity, or how to analyze patterns using proposed algorithms.

I wrote the introduction essay “Tie Me Up, Tie Me Down” for the new book Big Brand Theory, published by Sandu Media and Gingko Press. Check it out here and here.

I also recently judged the Asia Pacific Design Awards for the second time. More on that shortly…

… and my film “E-Waste” will be featured in the upcoming Sustainable Living Film Festival in Istanbul.

ドイツのタイポグラフィ雑誌『Slanted』の最新第16号に、2つの新しいエッセイを執筆した。

ひとつは “Hoofin’ It” という、靴、スタイル、信頼性および見掛けと印象の時代に関するもの。

もうひとつは “Top Down” であり、都市生活、人口密度および日本のタイポグラフィに関する見解。

I have two new essays in Slanted Magazine #16, the latest issue of the German typography magazine.

One, “Hoofin’ It”, is about shoes, style, authenticity and the age of look and feel.

The other is called “Top Down” and is a look at urbanism, population density and Japanese typography.

In the summer of 2011, I headed to Kobe with Toshiki Senoue and Ippu Sansan to shoot a trio of videos documenting ASICS employee and blogger Mutaurwa Mapondera as he visited the birthplace of Onitsuka Tiger for the first time. The first episode is up now– one of the final brand stories for Onitsuka Tiger crafted with AQ for the year.

2011年の夏に、私は写真家の瀬ノ上俊毅とメイクアップアーティストのイープ・三三と共にASICSの従業員でブロガーでもあるムタルハ・マポンデラがオニツカタイガー発祥の地を初めて訪れる様子を記録した三部からなる動画を制作するために神戸へと向かった。先日公開されたその動画の第一部がこちら。

今年AQと一緒に制作したオニツカタイガーのブランドストーリーの最後の作品のひとつ。
