After a hiatus this September, Doubleshot is back. Thanks to everyone who’s newly (or remained) subscribed since the last issue!
Last week, I published a new episode of Design Notes in which I talk to Zürich-based architect, artist, creative coder, and designer Fabian Bircher. His work spans a lot of disciplines, which highlights how his creative practice relies on a dialogue between creativity, technology, and function. A major theme in his work—and in this episode—is the aesthetic effect of mystery in design; how obscuring or occluding the right parts of the environment at the right time can create a stronger impact than revealing everything at once. This theme is what inspired the notes in this issue of the Doubleshot.
Let's get started.
