Episode 6: Force

There is force around us and force within us, but what is force and where does it come from? How do we harness the power of cycles to create a better, truly sustainable world? How does the cyclical process of alchemy play a role in both industrial design and daoism? 

In this episode Jost and Leon delve deep into the nature of force and cycles - cycles of creation and destruction, cycles of design and manufacturing, and the cycle of energy that circulates throughout the body every 24 hours; the chi cycle. In traditional Chinese medicine, if force doesn't flow, stagnation arises and ill health follows. Jost discusses the implications of this and where it's headed, and Leon reflects on how this impacts the creative process and how it leads to bad design. They also explore the antidotes to consumerism, the reciprocal dynamic between designer and consumer, the role desire plays in the creation of emotional, spiritual, and physical landfill, and how to discern between that which is glitter and that which is gold.
