Mixel “Introducing Mixel”

I’m so proud to have lent a hand to a project like this. When the brilliant designer Khoi Vinh showed me the new app he’s been working on, a lot of stuff just started to come together for me—pieces of the coming shift into what it means to create.

I think the future brings a world where all the elements of an object can be traced to their source, inherently and without friction—the DNA of any work self-evident and replicable into new forms. If I knew more about any of what I just said, I’d say that it’s a bit like life itself.

And Khoi has built a tool for creation whose user is free to play, experiment, share, collaborate, flourish, try, fail, make stuff, make more stuff. It’s fun, it’s intuitive, it works.

So for this, I drew inspiration from one of the earliest influences on my sense of creative play. I hope you enjoy the video, and more importantly, I hope you enjoy Mixel.
