High5
If you are in Japan in November, make sure to check out HIGH5², a design conference organized by HITSPAPER™. The theme of this years event is the “Black Box.” Our brain is constantly processing input and information, artwork, language, and sometimes emotion and sentiment. Currently only economic and social success is emphasized, neglecting emotion.
This years speakers are Artless, Kouki Tange, Nam, Qubibi, Stefan Sagmeister, and Wieden + Kennedy Tokyo / +CRUZ. The conference begins on November 24, 2008 at the Yokohama Osanbashi Hall.

Making Cents
In September 2008 Sagmeister Inc. participated in Droog Event 2: Urban Play. The public art installation consisted of 250.000 eurocents placed on the floor, covering more than 300sqm on a square in Amsterdam. The coins spelled out the sentence “Obsessions make my life worse and my work better”. The piece is part of the series Things I have learned in my life so far by Stefan Sagmeister.
