Urbanomic

In this episode of Urbanomic’s Yarncast series, strategist Benedict Singleton (www.benedictsingleton.com) discusses the longstanding suspicion of design as a practice of illicit manipulation, the concept of the trap, and the difference between plots and plans. Yarncast is a series of podcasts produced by Urbanomic as a part of the research residency project The Ultimate Yarnwork at Bergen Kunsthall in January–February 2015 (http://www.urbanomic.com/event-uf34-details.php), and featuring in depth interviews with writers and thinkers from a variety of disciplines, centered around the concepts of plot and plotting.
