PSFK. Interview With Régine Debatty Of WMMNA
Piers Fawkes on PSFK has interviewed everyone's favorite blogger, Régine Debatty. If you missed it, here's the link.
"We-Make-Money-Not-Art must be one of the most popular blogs on the web. Written by Régine Debatty, its anarchic mix of products, gizmos, new-age-cool-stuff and seems to be read and loved by everyone from Birmingham culture-jammers to New York ad execs. The team at IF thought they'd ask Regine a few questions about the success of her site."
"... Q. What do you think your site offers that a traditional trend reporting consultancy may not offer offer.
I think the strengh of my blog is the content, it deals with a topic that is --so far-- quite neglected by mainstream media: what artists, hackers or just amateurs are doing with technology. In particular, what they are not supposed to do with technology. The projects I write about may sound weird. Well... many of them are quite weird but if you go beyond your first movement of surprise, you'll see that their ideas are in tune with the preoccupations of society. Sometimes, you can even stumble on a work that says more about today's society than a study written by a team of sociologs.
So I hope my blog gives a fresh perspective on technology and can encourage companies to keep an eye on what these artists are working on".
