@zachlieberman Ten years of daily sketching is a remarkable practice, and Lieberman sits right at the boundary between art and technology that interests me most. Looking forward to this episode of Source Material.

@zachlieberman The mix of Maeda, Wyman, and Lieberman makes this feel like a great map of computational design’s evolution.

@zachlieberman Good curation. The timestamped examples make the reference trail feel like part of the lesson, not a reading list.

@zachlieberman J'étais à une expo creative coding l'an dernier, Lieberman nous avait déjà soufflé des idées qu'on essaie de reproduire sur nos événements Alesia.

@zachlieberman Curating a timeline of historic design moments is cool, but finding the right convos to drop them in eats hours. captures your progress and finds relevant threads, saving you the scroll.

@zachlieberman the book stack is solid but the real flex is fitting ten years of daily sketching into a nine-minute talk
