MooPig said...: No. I don't have any notes on the location. It is when Samantha was only about five or six... so that puts it about 1987-ish.
Do you remember where?

GRAVITY FREE is a unique multidisciplinary design conference. Every May, in a design-rich location, hundreds of designers from around the world gather to share two and a half days with the most passionate designers, design thinkers, and innovators on the planet.
GRAVITY FREE is inspiration. It's a “why” conference, not a “how to” conference. The speakers are the change-agents of the world. In the past we've invited to speak such important designers and thinkers as Tucker Viemeister (Oxo Goodgrips kitchen tools); Ron Pompei (Urban Outfitters and Anthropologie stores); Chip Conley (boutique hotels like The Phoenix in San Francisco, based on psychographics of magazines like Rolling Stone); Homaro Cantu (leader of the molecular gastronomy revolution and inventor of the edible menu); Freddy Justen (innovative communications storytelling at international trade fairs); Aldo Cibic (co-founder of the Memphis Design movement in Milan); Deborah Sussman (legendary 1984 Olympics graphic designer) to name just a few.

"Can you Hear me Cow?"
"I want to consider this question in relation to one specific area- the contemporary government of disorders of desire.
Not disordered desire in the sexual sense – which, despite the colonial ambitions of psychoanalysis, was never more than one small corner of the empire of desire.

I want to consider those other forms of disordered desire known as cravings and addictions - disorders that Mariana Valverde (1999) has termed ‘diseases of the will’ ...I am interested in the mutations that may be occurring in our ways of thinking about and acting upon these pathologies in the context of recent developments in the life sciences and biomedicine - the decoding of the human genome, the new neuroscientific knowledges of the brain and its mechanisms..."
