relevant anymore? defunct? still do noteworthy stuff? rank well amidst the other bigname 'cool' design studios these days? op'z.

yes, no, yes, yes, awesome team.

design as it was back in 2000 is kinda dead. We were all young. I think it didn't amount to anything, except that some people got a good time and made a buck. I did a few bucks but then I got bored.

they were ahead of their times. now they're behind their times.
- madirish0
wait.
is the question here about the website cubancouncil.com, or about the work Cuban Council does? if the latter, that last comment of Corvo's makes zero sense...

nobody knows what anyone is talking about, including themselves. what is important is to feel the humid air coming out of your mouth

Does they're phone still work?
Yes.
I'd say they're still in biz.

their website is still very 2003-ish.
their new work doesnt seem to be.
you just never ever hear about them in the 'design scene' anymore. no plugs to them. no mentions to their work. no talk about anything about them.
so.. are they 'less relevant' now? they used to be pretty prominent members of the community i thought.

busy and prospering i do believe

of course they are relevant. they did the suicide girls web site. show some respect, ffs!

Does relevancy have to do with how much you hear about them? Because if so, their relevancy has lowered recently.

Western culture is dying and this is just another example of how irrelevant our daily life has become. Nothing you do is worth more than six-month exposure. Some may find it cool - and find excuses for it in their deep individualistic world. But I just find it shallow as a whole, useless and sad. This non-relevant world and culture is what we're bringing up - whatever you do will be worthless in six-months. Do you like this idea? I sure don't and I think it's a waste of time just getting up and feeding this hedious machine.

sounds like somebody's got a case of the mondays.

OK I know I'm a poor scrawny little bastard. (just this wrote to use "scrawny". Damn fine word.)

lol @ Corvo. Guess what? That's a GOOD thing. We shouldn't be content, we should not be complacent. We should not be stagnant or sit still. Nothing is sacred. We should reach for something just beyond our grasp, not dig in the dirt of the past.
Change is good. New ideas are good. Evolution and Revolution is good.
- Corvo0
kq, indeed nothing feels or is sacred - and change is good. But if so, what is there beyond our grasp? How can we grasp a new thing with the same words? You see, we've lost it in a way - language doesn't meet our expectations.
- O what if we could think without putting everything into words? would that be thought? ty killerq - you were great.Corvo

k10k was my web hangout forever until it seemed to stall and I came over here. Still dig their work though.

actually - "tiny scrawls" are not Philip Larkin's. Nor "tiny". Sorry. "A scrawny cry from outside" belongs to Wallace Stevens (Pennsylvania). "Not Ideas about the thing but the thing itself":
