Let It Out!/Recorded 2010
A close reading, kept within reach.
Mark Dytham takes creative economy as a lens on the larger question the festival keeps returning to: what design owes to the people and places it works among. The talk moves from specific projects toward a broader argument about practice.
Recorded in Japan in 2010, the conversation is grounded in Mark's own working method — the compromises, the constraints, and the moments where the work taught them something they didn't expect.
The closing turn is characteristic of the archive: less a conclusion than a provocation, handed to the audience to carry into their own disciplines.
Design is about love, not money, and believing in the potential of design being something for the whole world.
