Planning involves considering how other people may use something.

You need to be able to ride past the technology by understanding what it can do, who you are, and where you want to take it. You don't want technology to lead you; you want to lead it, but it's very hard to do that when you're in the middle of it.

All maps are distorted, they are not literal fact.

Planning is design. As a designer what I tend to do, and what's different from being a painter, is that I interact with other people, and the people have things they need to have happen.

Design exists to serve some purpose.

When I paint I do a different thing than when I design. But both involve aesthetics, both involve thought, both involve planning.

As a painter I make up projects for myself to express myself. And there's no client, there's no direction.
