Nobumichi Tosa on making nonsense machines
What Can Your Creativity Do?/Recorded 2009
A close reading, kept within reach.
Nobumichi Tosa takes interaction 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 Japan in 2009, the conversation is grounded in Nobumichi'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.
Nobumichi Tosa’s interactive work is difficult to classify. Speaking at Design Indaba 2009 he says, “We make many many nonsense machines.”
