Chaos and Creativity
[Music]
when do
years of experience and professional
expertise
suddenly become an obstacle i’ve been
designing products and cars for many
years
so i am what you may call an experienced
designer
the clients ask me to continue doing
this great job that i do
only god forbid that i repeat myself
they want new designs each time well
that’s
wonderful do whatever you were doing
only
each time do it differently how do i do
that
you see us designers are a
strange bunch of people we’re
perfectionists
we strive for perfection we control
freaks
and we’re equipped with the skills and
the ability to do it we work hard
we have discipline we have patience
until we get to the top now
all these are wonderful tools if you’re
looking for
high quality they are worthless tools
if you’re looking for genuinely
something new
and in order to actually find something
new you need to abandon all these safety
stuff that you’ve been doing and do the
opposite turn your back
180 degrees to what you were doing and
do it differently
you actually have to cheat yourself to
calm yourself away from these habits
in order to do that i uh
introduce chaos instead of order
and randomness instead of control and
even accidents into my process
and this thing is fun but also
frightening
and a bit risky if you really do it
sincerely if you really sincerely
con yourself there’s a good chance
you’re going to fail
and the result will be worthless but if
you do succeed
there’s a good chance you’ll come up
with something worthy strong and new
now how do i do it i’ll just show you
first of all i need music so
i use music as a not just background but
as a motive the music will
will do the work and i take ink and i
spill ink onto the paper
because it’s
[Music]
not very orderly and if that’s not messy
enough well
that will be messy
[Music]
i’ve got these spots meaningless spots
sure why not
i even hold the pen in a stupid way
irresponsible way so he does what he
[Music]
wants
[Music]
do
[Music]
yeah just looking for the right stuff
yeah okay
takes time these are meaningless spots
and i’m just playing around
no idea what i’m doing at a certain
point i will try to become
an adult responsible adults and
maybe come up with a
product or a vehicle it’s a good
opportunity
[Music]
when i see an opportunity i will
probably grab it
yeah if i put wheels now let’s put a
wheel
put a wheel then it’s not a car and it’s
not a vehicle
but it may it may resemble
one if i’m
[Music]
if i pay attention sometimes it’s the
music doing it and sometimes it’s me i
have no idea
[Music]
i see a vehicle here so let’s see
[Music]
we’ll clean the wheels a bit so it’ll
look slightly more
cultured less well it’s always the
balance between the vivid
and the free and the wild and something
that is tamed
isn’t that the essence of our work try
my best
to keep the fresh spirit of it which is
not easy not to tame it too much
what i’m doing now is i’m trying and i’m
doing my best
and i actually it’s my motto
to make every effort possible
every effort so the result will look
effortless
like something falling out of the sky
almost natural
that’s what i would like and it’s
obviously not easy getting it but that’s
where i strive
[Music]
