What is the meaning of life?
January 30th, 2008 by Tom
WIKIPEDIA:
- To survive.
- To seek wisdom and knowledge.
- To do good, to do the right thing.
- To pursue a certain form of fulfillment, perfection of success.
- To lofe, to feel, to enjoy life.
- You should not search for the meaning of life.
- The answer… is too profound to be known or understood.
- You will never live if you are looking for the meaning of life.
- The meaning of life is to forget about the search for the meaning of life.
- Life has no meaning
- It was a random occourance in nature, anything which exists is by pure chance and has no intended purpose.
- Humans try to associate meaning or purpose so we can justify our existence.
- Which is what makes it so special.
- Life sucks and then you die.
Chosen Tasks
January 30th, 2008 by Tom(Minimum of three)
Three: Look back in history, find an important piece of writing, a profound statement or a prediction that has come true or predicted the future as it is now. Typeset these texts in black on sheets of paper clearly and beautifully.
Five: Find somethings that other people have said about the meaning of life. Google is a good start but try the library or TV or your Dad.
Eight: Break something that cannot be repaired and document the process, using images or film or words. Remember: lets see the detail of your process not the YouTube banal version.
(Minimum of two)
One: Make an animation about growth. The approach is ‘quick and dirty’. We want ideas that look good, and feel good though — the key to success is concept.
Four: Make a model of an object that can be attached to a piece of technolgy to make it into something more interesting to children. Remember: size is important often when communicating ideas. Making something big or bright or with a label to help it be known.
Visual Rhetoric

The brief machine said “If it isn’t visual, it isn’t valuable and the system will destroy it!” so I am going to do my best to keep this blog visual.
