Note: The first part of this episode has some clicks because of a connection issue. We tried to clean the sound up as best as we could. Bare with it because we really think it's worth listening to! This one's a long one, but one of our most amazing conversations. Drew and I spoke with Julie Cho and Erin Segal about their collaborative publishing project Thick Press. The two friends who met when they were 15 have been working together as graphic designer and social worker, asking hard questions about the value of work, juggling life and professions and sticking with relationships. We recorded this episode on November 8, 2024, two days after the US Presidential election. Despite the disappointment of the time, Julie and Erin showed up for our conversation in a way that can only be described as generous and present. Drew and I always joke that the podcast is “our therapy” and this episode couldn't be more validating of our motivations. We got to share about how we've struggled to keep Graphic Support Group going, the evolution of our friendship and admit to each other that we're still here and making the project happen. Julie and Erin took such care to hear us and opened up their stories for us to learn and reflect together. We are so appreciative of their time and words.Thick Press officially published “An Encyclopedia of Radical Healing” shortly after we recorded. They share the details about the massive project in the episode, so please check out their Instagram for more information and support their work with an order. They've also been super busy since we spoke! Here is a listing of some of their upcoming activities and recent publications:* Thick Press will be at the LA Printed Matter Art Book Fair at the Art Center College of Design in Pasadena on May 15-18.* They have published Change the World: A Research Book for Children and Adults by Sibylle Peters, is based on 20 years of performance-based research at the Fundus Theatre in Hamburg.* The second, may we dream and design felt futures: where our creative being and practice can feel the sensations of care, intimacy, and liberation, by Denise Shanté Brown, is both a memoir and a guide to creative social practices.* The third, It's Too Late.

Se puede decir, sin temor a equivocarse, que el Ferrari Enzo nace de una verdadera borrachera de éxitos… solo así se explica el atrevimiento de llamar Enzo a un Ferrari. Sí el Commendatore se levantase de su tumba y viese y probase el Enzo, ¿qué opinaría? ¿Le gustaría más que “su” F-40? Cualidades no le faltan, pero… Vamos a hablar de esa borrachera de éxitos. Y es que tras los títulos de Ferrari con Lauda-Scheckter la segunda mitad de la década de 1970 llegó una sequía. Ferrari ganó el Mundial de constructores en 1975, 76, 77 y 79 y Lauda el de pilotos en el 75 y 77 y Scheckter en el 79… pero luego las cosas se torcieron. No llegaban los éxitos deportivos, Enzo fallecía en 1988 y la marca italiana entraba en pérdidas. Y en esa tesitura Gianni Agnelli, todopoderoso jefe de Fiat, que ya era dueña de Ferrari, nombra a Luca Cordero di Montezemolo presidente de Ferrari. Luca es un tipo que merece un vídeo para el sollito, porque su carrera de éxitos abarca el automóvil, la Copa América de vela, el futbol o las marcas de “espirituosos” como Cinzano. Y de la mano de Luca llega la revolución: Se ficha como jefe del equipo Ferrari a Jean Todt, como piloto a Schumacher, se gana el Mundial de Constructores en 1999 para hacer el doblete en el 2000… luego llegarían un total de ¡6 consecutivos de marcas! Y ¡otros 5 consecutivos de pilotos!… y encima las ventas iban viento en popa… Era el momento de buscar un sucesor al F-50 y a primeros de los 2000 Ferrari se decide a diseñar y construir un sucesor digno a esta saga… algo realmente difícil. Ya sabéis todos lo unido que han estado siempre Ferrari y Pininfarina, su diseñador de cabecera. Y algunos, no todos, que Pininfarina no es de mis diseñadores favorito… me parecen muy buenos, pero no los mejores. En el caso del Enzo también fue responsabilidad de Pininfarina su diseño, pero fue un diseño muy personal de Ken Okuyama a quién se le encargó la responsabilidad de supervisar el diseño de este modelo… a partir de este momento, pondré especial cuidado en que distingáis lo que es opinión de lo que son datos. Vamos con los datos: Okuyama nació en Japón, concretamente en Yamagata, un año antes que yo, en 1959… o sea, que sigue siendo un chaval… Estudió diseño en el Art Center College of Design de Pasadena, California, Estados Unidos de Norteamérica. Trabajó en General Motors y luego en Porsche, donde participo en el diseño del 911 Generación 996. Y de ahí pasó a Pininfarina. Y ahora vamos con las opiniones: Okuyama tiene raíces japonesas, formación norteamericana, comienzos de influencia USA para rematar participando en el diseño del 996… ¿recordáis lo que dije en el video dedicado a la historia del 911? Os lo recuerdo: “Al responsable de los faros de este 996 habría que haberlo despedido” … ¿fue Okuyama? Por sus obras le reconoceréis y aparte del 996 y del Enzo, Okuyama ha diseñado el Ferrari 599, el Mitsubishi Colt CZC y diversos modelos de la marca japonesa Kode, entre ellos el Kode7, el Kode9 y el Kode57, en mi opinión, todos espectaculares, pero ninguno realmente bonito. Para mí no fue un acierto poner al frente de este modelo que pretendía ser un homenaje a Enzo a este diseñador… y no, no voy a decir que el Enzo sea feo, ¡ni mucho menos! pero desde luego no es el Ferrari más bonito ni desde luego, y este es su mayor pecado, el Ferrari “más Ferrari” … pero la culpa no fue solo suya, porque los ingenieros aerodinámicos se lo pusieron difícil a Okuyama. La parte frontal debía permitir una buena entrada de aire para sacar partido del efecto suelo y en la trasera, más de lo mismo, nada de alerones sustituido por un elaborado efecto suelo. El motor de 5.998 cm3 no era tan grande y pesado como pudieses esperar… por algo utilizaba tecnología de F1. El bloque era de aluminio, las bielas de titanio, con un cigüeñal muy ligero y 4 árboles de levas en culata con taqués hidráulicos. El tacto era como el de un motor de competición, con fulgurantes subidas de vueltas, pero con el tacto refinado de un coche de calle y un sonido espectacular. El rendimiento era excepcional, 660 CV a 7.800 rpm con la línea roja en las 8.200 rpm. El par era de nada menos que 657 Nm a 5.500 rpm. Eso supone una potencia especifica de 110 CV por litro de cilindrada en un motor que no necesitaba recurrir el turbo. Voy a ser sincero: Mi experiencia al volante de un Enzo ha sido limitada, apenas unas decenas de kilómetros por carretera y unas pocas, poquísimas vueltas, al circuito Fiorano, cerca de Maranello. Y siempre con un responsable de la marca en el asiento de la derecha, expectante como si te fuera a examinar… seguramente lo hacía. Me bastaron, eso sí, para entender que este modelo es realmente excepcional, probablemente un paso adelante hacia la perfección igual o mayor de lo que supuso el F40 respecto al GTO o el F50 respecto al F40. En la revista CEROaCIEN hay una comparativa del GTO, el F40 y el F50 y el afortunado y competente probador, Richard Haseltine dice dos frases que no puedo evitar transcribir literalmente. La primera: “El Ferrari Enzo redefine tu percepción de la velocidad”. Me parece una excelente definición de lo que consigue el Enzo, una eficacia de tal magnitud, sobre todo en las curvas rápidas, las “de verdad”, que te obliga a resetear tus referencias… se puede ir más rápido, mucho más rápido, de lo que imaginas. La segunda, anticipa mi conclusión: “Pocos coches pueden igualar en sensaciones y disfrute al Enzo. Pero, si hay que mojarse con una elección, el F40 le roba el espectáculo. La mayoría de los superdeportivos se van desvaneciendo con el tiempo… El F40 es diferente, su magnetismo brilla más intensamente cada año que pasa” … nada más que añadir.

Futuristic EV Designer Sports Car w/ Nikita Bridan of Oilstainlab   - AZ TRT S06 EP02 (263) 1-26-2025              What We Learned This Week Oilstain Lab creates high end retro futuristic designer sports car - in EV models EV Car Designers for Gearheads who hate EVs All the capabilities of a sports car, on a liteweight carbon fiber frame, + sound & an electric motor Inspired by the race cars of Italy & classic 1960s sports cars     Guest: Nikita Bridan, Co-Founder, CEO Nikita Bridan is co-founder & chief executive officer of Oilstainlab. A car design strategist with 15 years of OEM and startup experience, Nikita has worked with world-renowned brands including Lyft, Cruise, GM, Toyota, Genesis, ONE, and more on electrification, platforms, and strategy. In 2019, Nikita co-founded Oilstainlab with his twin brother, Iliya, as an automotive design consultancy service and playground, and developed it into a boundary-pushing, custom vehicle manufacturer. Nikita lives his life as fast as the cars he builds, once being pulled over at 140mph in Arizona and getting off with a warning. Nikita earned bachelor's degrees in Transportation Design from the Istitudo Europeo di Design in Italy and the ArtCenter College of Design in Pasadena, California, where he now serves as an instructor to the next generation of designers.   Leading a New Generation of Automotive with Oilstainlab Co-Founder Nikita Bridan The future of automotive design is in the hands of twin brothers, Nikita and Iliya Bridan.  The founders of Oilstainlab have turned heads worldwide with their automotive creations, most notably the Half-11, its half Porsche-half Formula 1 race car that pays homage to the golden age of motor racing.  The Bridan  brothers are motor maniacs who credit to Gran Turismo for fueling their passion for car design from a young age. The brothers dropped out of high school at age 14 to pursue a design education and would eventually earn degrees in Transportation Design from the Istitudo Europeo di Design in Italy and the ArtCenter College of Design in Pasadena.  During their career they have worked for world-renowned car brands including Toyota, Scion, Lexus, General Motors, Honda, Acura and more, bringing 6.5M cars to the road, securing 13 patents, and winning multiple awards including Motor Trend “SUV of the Year.”  In 2019, the brothers went into business for themselves. They opened Oilstainlab as a design consultancy and playground with clients ranging from EV start-ups, space vehicles, movie vehicles, hydrogen start-ups, and more.   In 2024 the brothers unveiled their first car, the HF-11. The HF-11 is the perfect mix of speed, comfort and intelligence. It offers 650 horsepower 12000RPMs and a top speed over 200 mph. The all-carbon fiber bodywork forges a radical shape obsessively honed for extreme velocities, while the interior offers all the comforts of modern-day vehicles. The company will keep turning heads with maniac design, world class advisory council going into 2025…and changing automotive landscape.         Notes:     Seg 2   Oil stain lab is a boutique, sports car designer, using an EV format. They start their design with the driver in mind, then sketch it out and think with an inside out strategy. They wanted to build a high-end retro futuristic 1960s motorsports inspired type car. These cars are expensive with future tech.   1960s sports cars were dangerous and cool. The last era of sports cars before car regulations were changed in the early 1970s.   The second step is a computer design. The car body uses a light carbon fiber frame. They also enhance their car with the idea and sound of combustion in an electric EV car.   It has a flat skateboard type platform designed very different than an actual sports car. Normally EV battery is at the bottom, but Oilstainlab put the EV battery where the engine would be. Lightweight car of 2000 pounds.   Compact and efficient, using a 911 Porsche as a model.Power train is in the back of the car, which is challenging.   Comfortable EV sports car, two seater with a manual transmission.   Has an audio signature, which is very important, creates real sound of 110 decimals. Oilstainlab is building cars for gear heads, not a traditional EV nerd type. Building EV cars for people who hate EVS.   Goes up to speeds of 200 mph, 0 to 100 in 5 seconds. Plus the driver can enjoy switching gears.     Seg 3   Twin brothers Nikita and Iliana created the company. Originally from Ukraine, then moved to Italy when they were teenagers. Eventually settled in California and created Oilstainlab.   Prior, they were auto designers for 10 years. Started Oilstainlab in 2019 with the design idea. In 2020 they started to actually manufacture cars. Fall of 2024 they came out with their HF 11 model.   Brothers were inspired by the 1960s motorsport cars and your famous Italian sports cars like Ferrari and Lamborghini.   They wanted to bring in the Hollywood flair of storytelling and branding. Think of Steve McQueen movies with the height of the sports car from 1967 through 1972.   1972 was the end of an era, with new emission standards that killed good designs. The 1960 sports cars were a wild west of innovation. Collectors still want these cars with their combustion engines.   Oilstainlab is bringing back that spirit within the next generation of car design. Building an EV car with power. Building an EV car for the EV hater.   There are challenges in this, with how heavy the car is and where to put the battery.   Aspark Owl, a $3 million car, claims to be the fastest EV in the world. It weighs 5700 pounds. Also has no noise or vibration, so it does not catch the nostalgia of a sports car.   Oilstainlab has a light car, manual transmission, plus that classic combustion sound. They replicate the experience, creating a bridge to the past with a future style sports car.   Car cost $1 million and their typical clients age from 40 to 60 years old. Using the 1960s car design, purity of a driving experience.   When they built the prototype, they were thinking about the driver first. They hired sports car drivers like JR Hildebrand, and Rick Noob to test. These guys were racecar drivers.   The 1960s cars were planned to be obsolete, the design will age out.   Post 1972 with the economic and fuel crisis, cars were mass produced. No more exotic designs, no real soul, they all look the same. Cars companies simply did not spend as much on research and development.     Seg 4   Thunderbolt has that combustion field type engine with their EV launch in April 2025   We will have a carbon fiber tub and re-create the excitement of the experience.   Oilstainlab is backed by an investor who has experience in Green tech and is an entrepreneur.   Oilstainlab is loved by the car maniacs, and they see themselves as maniacs too.   Cool EVS can help the entire EV market and change an image Oil stain lab is making a halo product for the entire industry.   They have advisors who review and drive the car – who are surprised when the EV sounds like combustion for the gearheads, creating a shock when people drive it, not even realizing it's an EV car.   Collectors want the sound of an original car, but also lightweight and manual driving for the unique experience.   Oilstainlab with their design is reconditioning the mind of what is possible with an EV car.   Their new Thunderbolt design will have swap ability, for the maniac ethos, with new engineering.   All goes back to how they were inspired with the famous sports cars of Italy, like Ferrari, Lamborghini, and Pagani. Italy is the Mecca of auto passion, culture, and approach to how a sports car should be done.       Seg 1   Past Clips (2) from related shows on EVs:   Best of Clean Energy, EVs & Battery Power AZ TRT S05 EP15 (230) 4-14-2024    What We Learned This Week Steve Zylstra of AZ Tech Council on Clean Energy Daniel Tonkopiy of Delfast Bikes on EV bikes Praveen of Monarch Tractor on AI, EVs & Farming Mark Hanchett of Atliss Motors on EV Trucks & Batteries Clean Energy - many Tech Co's working on zero emission plan Delfast E Bikes – smart bike, connects to E Bike, range of 220 miles on 1 charge, & speed of 50 mph, can drive on all different terrain  Monarch Tractor is AgTech working towards a future with Clean Farming Atlis Motors is an Energy Company - Apple of energy – vehicle is their ‘I-Pod' Revolutionizing the Electric Battery - Lithium, cobalt, copper w/ a Lifespan – 1 million miles or 10 years + Full Show: HERE         EV Charging at Home w/ Broc TenHouten of Intrinsic Power AZ TRT S05 EP05 (220) 2-4-2024  What We Learned This Week Intrinsic Power - Next Gen EV Charger EV Charging in your home will be standard Electrical Panel upgrade to handle new tech Electric Grid not prepared for consumer demand & EV charging needs EV Infrastructure for charging stations as EV Cars w/ longer range are the Future   Full Show: HERE         Biotech Shows: https://brt-show.libsyn.com/category/Biotech-Life+Sciences-Science     AZ Tech Council Shows:  https://brt-show.libsyn.com/size/5/?search=az+tech+council *Includes Best of AZ Tech Council show from 2/12/2023   Tech Topic: https://brt-show.libsyn.com/category/Tech-Startup-VC-Cybersecurity-Energy-Science    Best of Tech: https://brt-show.libsyn.com/size/5/?search=best+of+tech     ‘Best Of' Topic: https://brt-show.libsyn.com/category/Best+of+BRT      Thanks for Listening.

Few innovators have had a better front row seat on the internet revolution than Idealab chairman Bill Gross. Having founded Idealab in 1996, Gross has been a participant in every wave of digital innovation - from Web 1 and 2.0 to Web 3 and today's AI revolution. He's also been a frequent speaker at events like DLD, the Munich based annual conference which is celebrating its 20th anniversary in January. And so, having visited Gross at his ultra cool Idealab offices in Pasadena, I asked the serial entrepreneur and investor to reminisce about the last twenty years of tech history. What were his greatest successes and failures? And how fundamentally different is today's AI boom from the other cycles of innovation that he's experienced?Bill Gross founded Idealab in March 1996. Bill is a lifelong entrepreneur, starting his first solar business in high school. After graduating from the California Institute of Technology, Bill started GNP Development, Inc., which made a natural language product for Lotus 1-2-3 called HAL. In 1985, Lotus Development Corporation acquired GNP. In 1991, Bill started Knowledge Adventure, an educational software publisher that was eventually sold to Havas/Vivendi. Bill serves on the boards of directors of numerous companies and is also a member of the Board of Trustees of Caltech and the Art Center College of Design. Bill received his B.S. in Mechanical Engineering from Caltech.Named as one of the "100 most connected men" by GQ magazine, Andrew Keen is amongst the world's best known broadcasters and commentators.

About Yves Béhar: Yves Béhar is a venture designer, the founder of the fuseproject, co-founder of TELO, August, and Canopy, and Chief Creative Officer at Jawbone, August Home, and TELO. He holds a BSc in Industrial Design from the ArtCenter College of Design (in Pasadena, California) and worked in consulting for many years before starting fuseproject in 1999.  fuseproject was born out of a wish to create an integral version of design: not just designing something within the boundaries of the industrial design discipline, but actually thinking about branding and about creating an experience as well.  Yves is a big believer in working tirelessly at your dream even if you don't show impressive amounts of native talent. He recalls that from his friends at ArtCenter, he was the worst draftsman, but his idea for what he wanted to do with design and his tireless work carried him far regardless. Yves thinks suffering is part of the creative process, and that it is worth pushing through, because pain is temporary, but “suck” is forever. Out of his wish to work long-term with resource-strained startups came the concept of “venture designing”: instead of charging startups like a consultant, he co-founds their ventures. Throughout the years he's worked with 90+ startups. He believes this is the most mutually beneficial form of collaboration, since excellent design is usually the product of long term work and coexistence.

How America Got Divorced from Reality: Christian Utopias, Anti-Elitism, Media Circus ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Since a boat of religious fanatics with buckles on their hats hit the shores near Plymouth Rock and claimed that this was their utopia, America has always been a little bit crazy. It's this kind of wide-eyed "anything can happen if you believe" mentality that, at its best, can produce incredible art. But at its worst, it can be cruel and conspiratorial. We live in a country where people refuse to believe vaccination can help you and where a White House is spinning "alternative — but Kurt Andersen is here to say that this is nothing now. At the time of the Civil War, society had become split by two sides that refused to listen to each other. Back then, the political and social divide is stoked by a hyperbolic partisan media where anyone could publish whatever they wanted in a pamphlet without fact-checking. Sound familiar? It definitely should. Kurt's latest book is appropriately titled Fantasyland: How America Went Haywire. ------------------------------------------------------- KURT ANDERSEN: Kurt Andersen, host of Studio 360 on NPR, is a journalist and the author of the novels Hey Day, Turn of the Century, The Real Thing, and his latest non-fiction book Fantasyland: How America Went Haywire: A 500-Year History. He has written and produced prime-time network television programs and pilots for NBC and ABC, and co-authored Loose Lips, an off-Broadway theatrical revue that had long runs in New York and Los Angeles. He is a regular columnist for New York Magazine, and contributes frequently to Vanity Fair. He is also a founder of Very Short List. Andersen began his career in journalism at NBC's Today program and at Time, where he was an award-winning writer on politics and criminal justice and for eight years the magazine's architecture and design critic. Returning to Time in 1993 as editor-at-large, he wrote a weekly column on culture. And from 1996 through 1999 he was a staff writer and columnist for The New Yorker. He was a co-founder of Inside.com, editorial director of Colors magazine, and editor-in-chief of both New York and Spy magazines, the latter of which he also co-founded. From 2004 through 2008 he wrote a column called "The Imperial City" for New York (one of which is included in The Best American Magazine Writing 2008). In 2008 Forbes. com named him one of The 25 Most Influential Liberals in the U.S. Media. Anderson graduated magna cum laude from Harvard College, and is a member of the boards of trustees of the Cooper-Hewitt National Design Museum, the Pratt Institute, and is currently Visionary in Residence at Art Center College of Design in Pasadena.

His love of fine arts finally drew him to California to study photography at the Art Center College of Design in Pasadena. Since 1986, he has been working as a professional fashion and commercial photographer. His talent, combined with a deep well of enthusiasm, has landed his work in magazines such as Vogue, W, and GQ among many others. He has also created classic advertising images for clients including Tommy Hilfiger, Guess, and Polo. In 1995, Nicks added Commercial Direction to his resume. An Ameritrade spot in 1999 garnered him the U.S. Comedy Arts Festival Award for “The World's Funniest Commercial.” That same year he became a Director's Guild nominee for outstanding directorial achievement in television commercials. His reputation as a top fashion photographer and skilled commercial director have made him uniquely qualified to shoot both print and television spots for clients such as Tommy Hilfiger, Hugo Boss, Quiksilver, and Unionbay. In 2000 Greybull Press published Kustom, Nicks' first book of photographs inspired by the very ideals and unique expression that originally attracted him to California. Constantly looking to broaden his horizons, Nicks moved into filmmaking. His documentary short Hell House premiered at Slamdance and had its New York debut at the Museum of Modern Art. In 2002 he directed his first feature film, Slackers starring Jason Schwartzman, James King, Devon Sawa, and Laura Prepon.

Episode 135: Architecture, And: Melodie Yashar, Space ArchitectHow can you merge architecture with space robotics to create a new design language? On this episode of Practice Disrupted, we sit down with Melodie Yashar, a space architect, technologist, researcher, and Vice President of Building Design and Performance at ICON, a construction technologies company focused on large-scale additive manufacturing. First, Melodie illustrates the niche discipline of space architecture and the types of backgrounds and perspectives that lead people into the field. We learn about Melodie's serendipitous entrance into space architecture after submitting to a NASA 3D-Printed Habitat Challenge, and why the merge of design and technology is an inspiration for her work. 3D printing was an area that felt like it was advancing my knowledge in technology and taking it beyond the scope of creating an architectural model. Tackling the most challenging scientific and technological problem of space, you merge architecture with a specific idea or opinion of space robotics. That was the thing that really compelled me at the time. And it still does, frankly. - Melodie YasharThen, we dive into ICON: The five main areas they contribute to, their different building and design teams, and one of the company's newer additions, 3D-printing house design. We learn why 3D printing became a solution for challenges space architecture faces, and how ICON's teams plan for unforeseen events when working with emerging technology like 3D printing. Melodie also details projects ICON's working on alongside NASA to reimagine aspects of space.To wrap up the episode, Melodie speaks to the rapid growth of the space architecture field, plus ways to collaborate with ICON and help reimagine 3D printing as a new design language. Tune in next week for an episode about redesigning the future of work. Guests:Melodie Yashar, is a space architect, technologist, and researcher. She is the vice president of building design and performance at ICON, a construction technologies company focused on large-scale additive manufacturing.

Welcome to Art is Awesome, the show where we talk with an artist or art worker with a connection to the San Francisco Bay Area. Today, Emily chats with Patrick Martinez, a mixed media visual artist from Los Angeles.About Artist Patrick Martinez:Patrick Martinez maintains a diverse practice that includes mixed media landscape paintings, neon sign pieces, cake paintings, and his Pee Chee series of appropriative works. The landscape paintings are abstractions composed of Los Angeles surface content; e.g. distressed stucco, spray paint, window security bars, vinyl signage, ceramic tile, neon sign elements, and other recognizable materials. These works serve to evoke place and socio-economic position, and further unearth sites of personal, civic and cultural loss.Patrick's neon sign works are fabricated to mirror street level commercial signage, but are remixed to present words and phrases drawn from literary and oratorical sources. His acrylic on panel Cake paintings memorialize leaders, activists, and thinkers, and the Pee Chee series documents the threats posed to black and brown youth by law enforcement.Patrick Martinez (b. 1980, Pasadena, CA) earned his BFA with honors from Art Center College of Design in 2005.
