“Mikala’s practice is predominantly installation-based, in which she creates spaces within the conventional architecture of the gallery, using materials that have a strong association with the body. Her interest in working within and against architecture is a reaction to the imperatives of ‘good design’ – Scandinavian modernism in particular. Her installations and sculptures are experimental and experiential architectures that play with the permeable and changeable nature of objects and our relationship with them. Her materials – plastic, fabric, plywood, plants and sound – are selected for their qualities of materiality or immateriality, and display an intentional lack of finish.” www.mca.com.au/artists-works/artists/mikala-dwyer/

Solar energy is great while the sun is shining.  But not so useful once night falls. Most people think batteries are the answer, but Stanford University researchers have been working on another option.  TEG's (Thermo-electric generator) are energy conversion devices. Basically, by using the temperature differential between one side of the panel and the air, more electricity can be generated ( both during the day and at night). Even better TEG's are reliable, safe, affordable and available right now.https://twitter.com/i/status/1543377040996548614

I’m an avid fan of David Brear and the whole 11:FS team (even Jimmy). Recently David wrote about Features vs Feelings and JTBD (link below).It’s so obvious when you think about it. No-one wakes up excited to get a loan, open a bank account or transfer money. There are however triggers, whether emotional or transactional to make someone’s life better and sometimes not their own. For the Fintechs out there, have a read and think about what your product is doing for your customers and how it can make their life better. That’s how you win.
