Trade Paperback. Condition: Used - Like New. The poet Ryunosuke Satoro said, 'Individually, we are one drop. Together we are an ocean.' This philosophy is the inspiration for this issue. an exploration, celebration, commentary on the joys of collaboration through our own personal lens. People collaborate on many levels. It occurs in nature, technology, science, art, music and politics. For this issue of Arkitip, we asked artists, technologists, writers and friends to show us a recent collaboration or to create something new. Creative work for this issue originated from New York, Los Angeles, Tokyo, San Francisco, Shanghai, Seattle, Paris, Miami, Cape Town and Portland. Tokyo in the 90s was in what seemed to be an eternal funk. As usual, it was the young people that offered hope and creative juice to society, thus a highly entrepreneurial subculture began to discover it own influence. These new creators and designers were born from a tight group of friends, so although they were perhaps competitors, they often joined forces to create new products and identities for the young. Only in Tokyo does consumerism have such spiritual power. Thus the emergence of double brands, where products were able to take on dual characteristics and unique personalities. Soon the 'X' in Japan's subculture became a symbol of personal collaboration. A good collaboration starts with an inspired idea, a desire for unexpected results and mutual respect or pure love of another's work. A great collaboration occurs at that nexus of unforeseen possibilities and positive friction. Grace, openness and honesty can achieve extra-ordinary results. The most satisfying experiences in our careers, as a Cultural Engineer and a Creative Director, have been these moments. - Alex Calderwood + John C Jay Sealed in original poly-wrap bag. Packaged with John Maeda and Becky Bermont hand numbered print piece.

Hardcover. Condition: New. Using the theme of Color we have selected a group of artists to create whatever they wish using Comex supplied paint. Having grown dramatically from a collection of small family businesses to a major industrial corporation, The Comex Group produces paints and coatings customers count on for quality across North, Central and South America. Artists will use the magazine as a medium to give the viewer a closer look at their results. The selected artists will be encouraged to dig deeper into their process to showcase the inner workings of their creations. The culmination of these efforts has been published here in this hand numbered edition, neatly housed with a cobranded Comex + Arkitip paint brush. Along with the printed issue edition we have shot a series of Chronicles to document the artist's processes. To round out the project, the release will be celebrated with installations of the featured artists created works at Project Space, in Los Angeles.
