Podcast appearances and mentions of tobias revell

WHY LISTEN?In our launch episode we talk with Tobias Revell,  who leads the Future's practice at   Arup.  Tobias is a fantastic storyteller, with deep experience in multidisciplinary design and  our conversation covers topics ranging from  how to establish and grow a successful speculative design team, to  top tips for new designers looking to network,  (via corporate greenwashing and Billie Eilish).The Next Generation Service Designer question in this episode comes from  Amrutta Supate, Juliee Ingle and Yalena Sun.  The designers are currently studying Service Design at the RCA and found time to come up with a great (and taxing) question about positioning a speculative exploration of solar energy in low income communities. Service Design YAP is developed and produced by the Service Design Network UK Chapter.Its aim is to engage and connect the wider Service Design community. Episode Host: Stephen Wood Production Assistance: Jean Watanya

Dr Charley Peters selects ‘The Yellow Wallpaper' by Charlotte Perkins Gilman. Published in 1892, it was inspired by the author's own experience of post natal depression and the resulting inappropriate treatment she battled against. The short story describes one woman's descent into madness as she is overtaken by the yellow wallpaper she loathes. Her supposedly devoted husband keeps her isolated in a room, based on the authority of a nasty little cluster of so called expert mental health physicians including his learned self. This only worsens her condition. Charley identifies with the main character's need for stimulation, for creativity and for a way of being that doesn't fall subject to a cold logic. She describes the the book as a testament to creativity as a type of freedom, of intellectual freedom, of social freedom. It's also a timely selection as we emerge from lockdown which has been, amongst other things, a challenging time of coping with isolation. 0:00 - 0:22 the book, post natal depression, social repression, marriage, isolation, feminism, inspiration, pattern, gothic horror, human rights, social reform, independence 0:22 - 0:28 project for Hospital Rooms at Bluebird House, a mental health unit in Southampton 0:28 - 0:30 the decorative, design, contrasting unplanned 0:30 - 0:37 Charley's process, creating a ground, building up a painting, blending, tone, 'sb|2m2h (smiling back, too much to handle)' 2020, 'eod/qtpi (end of discussion, cutie pie)' 2020 0:37 - 0:43 collaboration with Tobias Revell and Wesley Goatley at 'Emergence', London College of Communication as part of London Design Festival 2019, 'charismatic megapigment' 2019, webcam, abstraction, symbol, machine intelligence 0:43 - 0:55 Charley's wider practice, colour, intuition, shape, abstract painting, finishing the painting, physical reaction, phd, drawing, unlearning, boredom 0:55 - 1:03 Charley's writing and influences, Agnes Martin, sensitivity, emptying out, minimalism, Instantloveland, Lee Krasner, female trailblazers, resilience, creative spirit, energy, robots, Judas Priest, cartoons, growing up in Birmingham, staying indoors, painting leather jackets 1:03 - 1:08 Upcoming exhibitions, virtual exhibitions, skateboard auction and what Charley's reading RIGHT NOW!   CHARLEY PETERS charleypeters.com   BOOKS & WRITERS ‘Women and Economics' 1898 by Charlotte Perkins Gilman ‘The Home, it's Work and Influence' 1903 by Charlotte Perkins Gilman ‘What Diantha Did' 1909 by Charlotte Perkins Gilman ‘Herland' 1915 by Charlotte Perkins Gilman ‘Uncle Tom's Cabin' 1852 by Harriet Beecher Stowe ‘A Room of One's Own' 1929 by Virginia Wolf ‘Do You Compute' 2019 by Ryan Mungia and Steven Heller   COMMISSIONS Bluebird House for Hospital Rooms Centrepoint for House of Vans   ARTISTS Eva Hesse 1936-1970 Agnes Martin 1912-2004 Lee Krasner ‘Living Colour' exhibition Clare Price, Alison Goodyear, EC as collaborators for Instantloveland article   GALLERIES The Barbican 405 Gallery Hauser & Wirth   Frog tape !!!

The profound otherness of computation presents radical opportunities for new ways of being in the world. How might being or becoming computational offer new potentials for the ways that we cognate, observe and calculate the world. How are the categories and definitions we've laid down over the modern history of humanity change if we embrace a computational reality devoid of obtuse boundaries and old power structures? In taking technology away from narratives of efficiency, productivity and consumption we open up opportunities for new, sublime, even spiritual ways of being, if we can only imagine them.

​​Today things get a little spooky. We meet Tobias Revell and Natalie Kane, who together form Haunted Machines. ​Haunted Machines explores narratives of myth, magic and haunting around technology. They've recently participated in the Serpentine Galleries’ 24-hour event on artificial intelligence, machines and consciousness this year – called Guest, Host, Ghost – and most recently curated the Impakt festival 2017 in Utrecht, the Netherlands. ​​One the agenda: why we still haven’t shaken our industrial-era understanding of machines and technology, and the undeniable creepiness of Alexa.
