dotpem
A lab that makes things out of curiosity.
01On form
Most things are one decision too many.
Take one away and see what is left. Usually, that is the thing.
02On first versions
The first version is always wrong. That is its job.
It exists to be touched, dropped and argued with, long before it is right.
03On structure
Every system is a promise about later.
Kept small enough to understand, and redrawn the day it stops being true.
04On what is hidden
The best work is the part nobody sees.
Heat, tolerance, the failure at three in the morning. When it is right, there is nothing to notice.
05On machines that decide
A machine that decides for itself is a small kind of trust.
Given a body and a few senses, it has to be right when nobody is watching.
Made out of curiosity.
