Sweet coincidence?

Arina Orlova — Wed, 08 Sep 2010 23:34:23 +0000

I drew this sketch on the way from work. And once I got home I was offered a free ticket to see Così fan tutte (a classic score by Mozart) in Royal Opera house (will see if I could use it on Friday). This coincidence stroke me. I had no idea what the guy on the tube was listening in his headphones. Maybe the idea of Mozart hanging besides me in an information space was somehow sensed by me and fixed up on the paper. I guess this is a direct benefit of thoughtless drawings, as ideas could jump in them dismissing my concious… Does this make sense?

Thoughts on Happiness

Arina Orlova — Sun, 05 Sep 2010 15:05:00 +0000

Recently I was working on a project about happiness for the UPcoming UPside exhibition. My research led me to TED, where I found some interesting talks by Stefan Sagmeister where he shares happy design and Daniel Gilbert, whose book “Stumbling on happiness” I am now reading. However researching happiness and being happy or making someone else happy are absolutely different stories! And desire to be happy could lead to paradoxical decisions like the following:

P.S. In fact hanging yourself won’t make anyone happy, on the contrary it would make many other people unhappy…
