PROCESS
Sometimes there is ideas, that we could have for five years and never do anything with, you know. And we will come back to them every so often until it’s like the right time or moment or, like something clicks for one or more of us. It’s hard, because there are like multiple people in the group and you want like to come to consensus as often as possible. But sometimes like, you know, someone has just like a stronger will, to see their idea through, and that one will be the one that kind of like gets made in a way. But it usually does begin with an exchange of like emails and links and just like ideas for things. And some of us are more like analytical than others, like some are more like visual and they just have like visual ideas, that they want to see manifested.
Sometimes we have, what we want to say, but we don’t have, what we want it to look. And all the times we have an idea for how something should look, an impression that you want to get from it, but not necessarily like the – the words to express it, you know. So, there is this kind of thing happening and then sometimes they like – they fit together like a jigsaw puzzle. And then you have it and then you’re like: “oh great.” And what’s, you know, really true is, that you can talk and talk and talk about like an exhibition, for really an endless amount of time and then suddenly, okay, we got it. We’re done now. You know. And that happens – that moment happens kind of really quickly, once you decide, like, that something does fit together. And then you can move forward and how you going to produce it, which also influences obviously, what it’s going to be.
So, we do meet together and we do work in the same room. Almost every day. It’s certainly anytime we’re in the same city. But even than you need kind of like a record and you need to work independently and then you share, and things like that. I mean, every once in a while we get out like a big whiteboard and start like writing and putting post-its for like larger projects and things like that. But we like to work together as often as we can. But there is a lot of traveling and things like that, so. Yes.
DIS is two couples. So, it’s like Salomon and David and me and Marco. We have always lived within, like walking distance of each other basically for the last like, whatever, twelve years or more, I don’t know. So, it’s been pretty easy, like usually we meet at my house, just because it has a little bit more room. And we sit around the kitchen table, and the first part of the day, we do like personal email – not personal but work emails, you follow up with people, you try to get back to people. And then in the second half of the day, you might have like meetings or have conversations together, to kind of figure out, what are the primary needs, what needs to get done, who’s going to do what. And then you kind of go back to doing, what you need to do. So, it depends, like how long you have, to just like converse and like brainstorm. Just depends on, where you are in the process of a project or not. We have lunch there, we cook lunch together almost every day as well. So, it is sort of like a – a very family. It is like kind of a little family.
It’s like an office, except we don’t have an office.
