We're back with a brand new episode with one of the most fascinating #POOLIGANS in memory: The one, the one and only KAZYS VARNELIS (@kazys) -- college professor, author, newspaper publisher -- and yes, you're also about to learn how to pronounce his name. He tells us about growing up in a family dominated by an artist, the history of architecture, why urban development of cities frequently fails, glorious wine cellars, plague mask collections...and the one and only Roxy The Cat also holds court.Learn more about Kazys on his website: https://varnelis.net/

S3E6 Meet KAZYS VARNELIS (@kazys)

Today’s guest,   Kazys Varnelis,   helps me take a look at today’s maker culture through the lens of the Arts and Crafts Movement, as well as the many DIY and counter-culture movements that sprang up in the second half of the 20th Century. We talk about making as a startup culture, and making as a form of everyday life. And we spend some time thinking about the things that don’t seem to count as making, from cooking and gardening, to renaissance fairs and fanzines. Finally, I encourage Kazys to engage in some reckless speculation about what the future might hold for making cultures, and he nobly obliges. Kazys is a lecturer at the School of Architecture, University of Limerick and also teaches at Columbia University and Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He is the Director of the Network Architecture Lab and co-founder of the conceptual architecture/media group AUDC. He’s also an artist, and editor and writer of many books. This episode riffs off an article published in the New Yorker in 2014 by Evgeny Morozov, called Making It. If you haven’t at least skimmed that piece, I’d recommend doing that first, then coming back to this. It’s all right, we’ll wait. Show notes  The Arts and Crafts Movement The Evgeny Morozov article William Morris Karl Marx on alienated production Henri Lefebvre on everyday life Horatio Alger myth Stewart Brand Chris Anderson’s book, Makers: The New Industrial Revolution Mark Hatch’s book, The Maker Movement Manifesto Techshop Manuel Castells’ book, The Rise of the Network Society Social architecture examples: refugee shelter in Calais Habitat for humanity Backpacking and making: Make Your Own Gear Renaissance fairs Artificial General Intelligence An AGI wins at Go Keynes, and the 15 hour working week  This episode will be broadcast on Resonance 104.4 FM on Sunday 27 March. To listen on Resonance, check out the show page.
