Richard The Work About Seed Media Group Seed Media group is a scientific publisher of magazines, books and films. As we worked on the identity it became clear that the end result should constitute a visualization of science and media. Science is culture, it surrounds us, it is part of everything we do. We were looking for something open ended and flexible, a vessel we could fill with new meaning. Formally the identity is based on phyllotaxis, a form found everywhere from seashells to Greek architecture, from pineapples to the Sydney opera house, horns of gazelles to the optimum curve a highway ramp turns. It plays a role in biology, zoology, botany, medicine, physics, geometry and math. It's part of the golden ratio and golden curve. Looking at the world through this scientific lens of the phyllotaxis, we developed a chameleon like identity; it always takes on the form of the medium it is put on. On the business cards it shows a version of the portrait of the bearer, on the letterhead it iridescently reflects the room. Created at Sagmeister Inc.. Role: Design, Software

Richard The Work About Urban Play On September 13, 2008 we began the installation of 250 000 Eurocents on Waagdragerhof Square in Amsterdam. Over the course of 8 days and with the help of more than 100 volunteers, the coins were sorted into 4 different shades, and carefully placed over this 300 sqm area, according to a master plan. The coin mural spelled out the sentence “Obsessions make my life worse and my work better.” After completion the coins were left free and unguarded for the public to interact with. Less than 20 hours after the grand opening, local residents noticed a person bagging the coins and taking them away. Protective of the design piece they had watched being created, they call the police. After stopping the ‘criminal’ the police–in an effort to ‘preserve the artwork’–swept up every remaining cent and carted them away.

Richard The Work About Step Into The Web Step Into The Web is a dynamic entrance installation at the Mozilla headquarters in Berlin. It is inspired by Firefox, the pioneering web-browser, and the innovation the open web enables. The piece takes a real-time feed of websites and deconstructs them into their atomic html elements, such as images, headlines, buttons. These elements are translated into an ever-changing tapestry that shows the internet of any given day: Breaking News headlines, the newest tweets and photos of the day. The constantly moving image guides visitors and employees into the Mozilla work spaces.
