The Good Life reframes conversations about support, shifting the focus to lived experience and revealing opportunities for people with disabilities to lead richer and fuller lives.
Proud to have been involved in this project: the Good Life. It is a tool for visualising the lives of people with complex support needs (most likely living in supported care environments). https://youtu.be/BftyG5nj2dI?si=6AY0DkxeV7kJPmZU
What an amazing artist has passed today. I'm guessing that lots of my friends here already know about Vera Molnar's work.
In case you don't, here's her wikipedia page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vera_Moln%C3%A1r
"Molnar is widely considered to be a pioneer of computer art and generative art..."
I hope that her website will be maintained: http://www.veramolnar.com/
Have been working on a tool to visualise the complexity of supported living for people with disability with colleagues from UTS, Northcott Innovation and design agency Parallel Lines. It’s nice to get what will hopefully be the first of several papers about it out into the world at the IEEEVIS vis4good workshop in Melbourne in a couple of weeks. #visualisation #disability
Interesting term:
"opinionated design"...

The Picasso Moth is misnamed. This is clearly the work of Mondrian.

Baorisa hieroglyphica is a moth of the Noctuidae family. Its genus Baorisa was long thought to be monotypic. It is found in parts of northeastern India and Southeast Asia.

The ultra-wealthy want to limit their interactions as they glide through life. But the rest of us want the ‘touch points’ they would rather avoid: ticket sellers, bank branches, customer service assistants you can actually talk to, writes Emma Beddington
"The headlines of unscrupulous service providers and underspending state governments paper over a story of continuing systemic problems that cannot be fixed by surveillance or money. These are the problems of: disregard for lived experience—as if forty-five years is not long enough for me to know my needs as a blind person; disregard for person-centredness - as if it’s appropriate for anonymous and uncontactable people to make decisions about me without me; gate-keeping—as if allowing me to have orientation and mobility will mean that every NDIS participant will want it; and bureaucratisation—as if dividing the NDIA into so many specific areas with their specific language and specific processes will result in a better understanding of my life as a whole."
For anyone interested in the service 'design' of the NDIS, give this starkly honest story a crack:
NDIS plans are sometimes drafted by a local area coordinator, but always formalised within the National Disability Insurance Agency. They are finalised by a planner and approved by a supervisor, and neither of those people meet the participant whose life they are planning for the next two years. We do not even know their names.
