"All this he saw, for one moment breathless and intense, vivid on the morning sky; and still, as he looked, he lived; and still, as he lived, he wondered."

Occhio di Falco: Punto Cieco

Ok, mettiamo subito le carte in tavola: mi aspettavo di più. Molto di più.
Punto Cieco è una mini di quattro che si pone sul solco di Hawkeye & Mockingbird (Occhio di Falco e Mimo, pubblicato in Italia come Marvel Mix #91) e del suo crossover Widowmaker (i.e., Marvel Mix #95), e forse mi trovo a giudicare quest’albo in modo un po’ freddo perché non ho letto il primo e non sono riuscita a finire il secondo, ma quello che Jim McCann ci propone non è l’Occhio di Falco che ricordavo io. L’altissimo, tragico Occhio di Falco di House of M lascia qui il posto ad un personaggio che non sembra poi molto diverso da un mix insipido tra Daredevil e l’Uomo Ragno, uno spaccone con la battuta pronta ed uno spiccato spirito di negazione che si trova a… Quasi mi vergogno a dirlo. Cosa c’è di più banale? Occhio di Falco sta diventando cieco. E gli amici che tentano di fargli accettare la cosa. E lui che rifiuta. E i flash-back. E che palle. A corredo del tutto, degli insipidi disegni chiaroscurati a morte, opera di Paco Diaz, cui si alternano nei flash-back nomi come Nick Dragotta e Brad Simpson, Valentine DeLandro, Lee Weeks e Stefano Gaudiano.
L’unica cosa di buono che c’è in questo fumetto è la tesserina plasticata.

Diagrams: the power to tell a story (that might be fake)

I’m currently in Venice for the Architecture Biennale, and I stopped at the local Fondazione Prada for the current exhibition by AMO/OMA, more out of due diligence than anything. I confess I wasn’t expecting much. I was wrong, and I recommend this show to anybody

Projects Failing Forward

I already spoke about the value of failing fast on projects; it’s not anything I invented, and yet our mindset always shifts towards trying to avoid failure. We try to build bulletproof workflows. We have a failsafe in place for everything. We craft The One
