I personally went to a symposium in Boston with a bunch of other creative talent a year or so ago and I got to witness Josh's alogorithym creative. I didn't think anything about it was stale. You need an eye to capture a still just the same as a photographer has to have an eye to capture the right shot out of 10 similar versions of the same thing. And to be totally fair what Josh's doing was innovative then it should have been taken to the next level if the economy hadn't tanked I bet you would have started to see more interactive algorhythm creative on television advertisements and more. It's cool stuff. It looked on screen like it was alive even though it really was just a program.
Anyways I guess I can see the relation sharing between shepard and Josh Davis, but frankly I don't think their of the same sort at all. Josh's work is out there.... for all of us and I think we can all appreciate that fringe, even if he comes off as the over zealous american.. I say judge him by his work and its some pretty sweet stuff.

Hey speaking for myself this one time I went to NYC and went to this art thing and JD was there signing hard drives and then he said something and I was like wow I love your tattoos i cant believe you play by your own rules
Then I was on a forum and JD posted something 3 posts down from my post and I was like wow you know, he's a really down to earth person for using the same internet I use.
Then he made this websiet and did an interview about the websiet and said something and I was so excited I totally sprayed my pants. Front AND back.
i was gonna keep going with this but eh

Hey Josh, so how much ass do you really get being a big time desginer? Come on you can tell me.

iCanHazQBN nil... I think David Carson is the guy you need ping for that question. That guy is permanent Graphic Design Fame Booty Call.

why is this book called "designers are wankers"?
a. the act of masturbation (german: selbstbefriedigung) is central in our lives because we are so engaged in discussions, we can't get laid
b. self criticism is a no go, it's better to have a good ball massage every now and then
c. we are bitching a lot about others

my two cents:
Everyone stop hating on Carson and Davis. Regardless about how you feel about their work, they were pioneers of their methods. Now, you might say (as i've heard on here COUNTLESS times) "I could totally do that!" well, I would argue that a lot of people could PROBABLY do Rothko or Picasso - but LIKE Carson and Davis - their work is at one point aesthetically pleasing, but MORE importantly, their work mark a shift in aesthetic, concept, technique, etc. If we hold all designers/artists up to the classification of "i can do that" than lets go to the top. Let's talk about Vermeer. Let's talk about Van Eyk. Lets talk about realism. Realism became less important with the introduction of the photograph - does it make it any less valuable today? no.
I would question most of the people that are arguing that "they could do this too" - "what" exactly can you do? copy a style? Try creating a fucking style/technique/movement. I'd love to see how easy that is.

If David Carson sees this thread and signs up for an account, it will all be worth it.

no offence to anyone but ffs, since when did journalistic opinion pieces ever have to be objective and reflective of the general consensus?
well done JD for standing up for yourself, but christs sake, I'd run a mile from back up like you were getting in that thread ;)
