TPD/LBA : THE BOOKMARK PROJECT:100 SITES | A YEAR || No. 2

An event about graphic design based in Monterrey, N.L.

...............................................................................................................

Two days of talks by key personalities from Monterrey's design scenario, dealing with different topics related to the local graphics plus workshops with the intention of establishing new projects after the Mitosis congress.

Mitosis010 is meant to promote a sense of community between designers, to remember the conception of the designer in the society and its responsibility towards it, it's a model for theoric analysis of the local graphics that can be applied to a different context and also a kick-start for other projects.

The concept is based on an analogy done between the mitosis, or cellular division. Each piece of the project functions it's related to this core concept. The cell as a micro element, an organism capable of exponential reproduction caused by a little initiative.

To promote the event, publications were and are being produced, each one based on the five phases of the cellular process. A blog is refreshed every week with new content.

Mitosis is all about the one-on-one interaction experience, to celebrate the importance of dialogue, debate and teamwork. A free event about design, focused on cultural and social issues, a place for opinions, but also a workshop for production. We want to convince others to invest their time and intellect in alternative projects, to promote the approach to society through the critic and aesthetic eye of design. We want to prove that its possible to make a free event, with relevant content through everybody's effort.

TPD/LBA : THE BOOKMARK PROJECT:100 SITES | A YEAR || No. 1

At the risk of having you never come back to this site, I have the aim to constantly publish the best (mexican) sites I find day by day, to feed your creative appetite. 

Most of the sites I´ll include day by day ( if possible)  do not get the credit they deserve, and even if it´s a popular one, They  deserve even more attention. The compile will be called 

THE BOOKMARK PROJECT:100 SITES / A YEAR

The project , obviously, will be an archive in no particular order. This will be the beginning of a New Era, The Mexican Talent Stock / Websites Chapter. Curated by The Pigmy Deer Network (based in Mexico & Spain) and Las Bellas Artes.Org an international art-based business platform based in New York.

So if you think you : own / know / like / a site, please send the link to artstock@thepigmydeer.net with subject: THE BOOKMARK PROJECT:100 SITES / A YEAR .

The Catalogue will be published online (as a website), in December 2010, and presented for the first time in Barcelona,Spain and Paris,France.(For further Details, stay  tunned !! ) 

At the end, maybe dozens more could have been added to this "yearbook"  (so, perhaps there will be a sequel to it).

NO.1 : THE BROWN FOX STUDIO

>> INSPIRATION: "The brown fox jumps over the lazy dog" 

I am extremely flattered to be named one of THE BROWN FOX STUDIO "friend sites", especially along side : QUIERO POSH ( and all time favorite ), TOC TOC ( our featured project)  AND  MITOSIS ( MY ENTIRE ADMIRATION FOR THIS PROJECT).

They were/are huge huge huge inspirations for starting/continuing this magazine, and they are a daily support, and advisors.They represent The Example of what Mexican creativity lead you to. At least the type of work we are looking to promote and expose worldwide.

So, yes.We´ll have a tought, tough time, along with Las Bellas Artes to pick our top 100 sites this year. It´ll be fun ! At least we already have our No.1.
