I am super hyped to introduce our pet project of this summer, called Substratum. It’s a series of inspirational interviews with some of today’s most influential designers and artists. 10 questions per interview, 2 interviews per issue, 1 issue per week until Christmas!

We start today with the first issue titled “Space” containing interviews by Marius Watz and Theo Watson & Emily Gobeille. A total of 14 interviews are in store for you and will be released on a weekly basis. The complete list of names featured in Substratum remains secret, but includes people like Ben Fry, Nicholas Felton and Golan Levin. Here is why we do this:

We want to feel the pulse of the creative community working at the intersection of art, design, and science. They are restlessly weaving together the physical with the digital, turning data into meaning, and creating interactive experiences to generate inspiring insights that encourage us to challenge our own works.

A lot has been talked about the works of these creative makers; we want to find out what they feel and think about their worlds. We want to get to know their beliefs, motivations and limitations. We want to know where they’re coming from and why they do what they do.

Move over to substratumseries.com and subscribe via RSS or Twitter to get updates of new released issues. We hope you enjoy what you see and read as much as we did putting everything together. If you have any questions, suggestions and thoughts for us, please let us know.
