商品描述

A hopeful meditation on how periods of inactivity become reimagined as fertile spaces for design and how we might use this strange moment in history.

"Hi, everyone. I'm speaking to you from my apartment in Oakland, though I've virtually placed myself in the rose garden nearby."

Artist and writer Jenny Odell hadn't originally planned to deliver the Harvard University Graduate School of Design's 2020 Class Day Address from her living room. But on May 25, 2020, there was Jenny, framed by a rose garden in her Zoom background, speaking to an audience she could not see about the role of design in a suspended moment marked by uncertainty in a global pandemic. Odell's message, itself a timely reflection on observation, embraces the standstill and its potential to deepen and expand our individual and collective attention and sensitivity to time, place, and presence--in turn, perhaps, enabling us all, amid our "new" virtual contexts, to better connect with our natural and cultural environments.

Odell unspools this hopeful meditation in Inhabiting the Negative Space, where periods of inactivity become reimagined not as wasted time but fertile spaces for a kind of design predicated less on relentless production and more on permitting a deeper, more careful look at what exactly is demanding or tapping our time and attention, and how we might use this strange moment in history to respond.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

一個充滿希望的沉思,探討無所事事的時期如何被重新想像為設計的肥沃空間,以及我們如何利用這段歷史上奇特的時刻。

「大家好。我在奧克蘭的公寓裡跟你們講話,雖然我在虛擬中把自己放在附近的玫瑰花園裡。」

藝術家和作家珍妮·奧德爾(Jenny Odell)原本並不打算在她的客廳裡發表哈佛大學設計研究生院2020年畢業典禮的演講。但在2020年5月25日,珍妮出現在Zoom背景中的玫瑰花園裡,對著一個她看不見的觀眾談論設計在全球疫情中不確定的暫停時刻中的角色。奧德爾的訊息本身就是對觀察的及時反思,擁抱這種靜止狀態及其潛力,深化和擴展我們對時間、地點和存在的個人及集體關注和敏感度——反過來,或許使我們在「新」的虛擬環境中能更好地與我們的自然和文化環境連結。

奧德爾在居住於負空間中展開這一充滿希望的沉思,將無所事事的時期重新想像為不再是浪費的時間,而是設計的一種肥沃空間,這種設計不再是無止境的生產,而是允許我們更深入、更仔細地觀察究竟是什麼在要求或吸引我們的時間和注意力,以及我們如何利用這段歷史上奇特的時刻來做出回應。
