South African Design Week/Recorded 2008
A close reading, kept within reach.
Jakob Trollbäck takes music & sound design 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 USA in 2008, the conversation is grounded in Jakob'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.
Creativity is largely responsible for the type of lives we live today, which is a good thing, says Jakob Trollbäck.
