Required Blog Entery for Contemporary Design #3. Today's Topic: Andrea Zittel

Andrea Zittel. That was a pretty inspiring lecture. At least I thought it was. Its good to see someone who acts on ideas when they come, now matter how unusual they might seem. I wish I was better at that.

I especially liked her "Vacation from Time" experiment where she secluded herself in a basement studio for a week, without any contact with the outside world, or a way to know what time it was. I've always wondered what something like that would be like. How would I occupy my time? How long would it take before I started to lose my sense of reality? Could I handle being away from my precious computer for that long?

I really liked the floating island/house boat thing too. Basically its a boat that has vegetation growing on top. Brilliant.
