3. There’s something about handwriting that gives a unique character of life. In an increasingly digital age, we find ourselves looking at computer’s letters far more often than our own. How does that change the way we read? The way we think? The way we learn? Notes on Growing offers space for humanity and slow growth, even as we are surrounded by technology.
4. Zander’s blurb here.
5. Riley: I think what’s most interesting about our work is that we created a whole immersive world which requires a lot of different layers of technology working together, and sometimes that can slow down the software and lead to random glitches with the lighting or sound or animations. So even in this really calming space you might wonder, “did I do that right? Did I miss something? Is this helping?” And I guess that’s pretty similar to the modern experience of taking notes.
6. Brie: Whats beautiful about interacting in a world built out of notes is that notes are designed just to be a tool for oneself to grow your mind and they are hardly ever shared with the world. Bringing what was created to feed someone’s mind, and being able to interact with these tools in a garden-like way where interactions grow and bloom and you are discovering and creating is a very enriching experience. It is a physical meditation on how all the little things you do interact with each other to grow your mind into the beautiful unique garden it is. Nobody in the Notes on Growing garden will experience it in the same exact way due to the interactivity and the layers, and I think thats another beautiful analogy to how everyones growth and learning is different even when rooted in the same things.
