Tired bicicletas. These guys made the trek from the San Diego neighborhood of South Park down to Tijuana. (We gave them a break on the trolley on the way home.)
On 05 of December 2009 we set out by bicycle — joined by Jay, Katie, and Michael of North Park farm-to-table restaurant The Linkery — in the direction of Suzie’s Farm, Read More
2009 was a fine year for Set & Drift, as we followed the compass eastward and trekked it over to New York City. October in NYC was host to the Feast conference: an inspiring gathering presented by All Day Buffet that is definitely worth putting on your calendar. It’s an interdisciplinary happening of open dialogue and presenters that explores how creativity impacts business in a positive way. Read More
We love this model for multi-discipline creative activity:
London’s “Village Underground“: a “sculptural space” that hosts artists, architects, graphic designers, filmmakers, writers, and more.
If there’s anything consistent about us creative types, it’s that we need inspired space — for architectural models, for interdisciplinary think tank meet-ups, for gallery shows, for filming. etcetera. We’ve seen a surge in the collaborative workspace concept here in San Diego, and over in London, they’ve created a non-profit version. Read More
Set & Drift recently crossed paths with Oliver Weber, a German photographer and doctor who resides in the Spanish town of La Gomera in the Canary Islands. Weber has a penchant for slowing down his creative process through traditional photographic techniques, avoiding digital almost entirely. He begins by exploring human interaction, taking the time to walk the town and talk at length with neighbors–a habit that no doubt makes him a better doctor. In this fast paced world that we live in, we were intrigued not only by his perspectives on the importance of slowing the pace of his creative process but also his ability and desire to merge his vocation and creative pursuits.
It is the pleasure of Set & Drift to publish this interview with Oliver, we hope you enjoy his images and insight.

Keikichi Honna has been hard at work in his Deutschland “cave”, completing an artist residency over the past several weeks. We just received the latest update, with images of his latest installation.
Thank you to SET & DRIFT correspondent Lauren Daniels for sharing this story of the giant pink bunny that can be seen from space.
Vienna-based art collective Gelitin crafted the rabbit and has classified the project as a solo show, spanning 2005-2025. After almost 5 years of knitting, the straw-stuffed toy rabbit has found its home in the Italian Alps. Visitors are encouraged to climb on the comfy 200 foot rabbit (which has been spotted by Google Earth).
The artists explain, “Behind a hill, as if knitted by giant grandmothers, lies this vast rabbit, to make you feel as small as a daisy.” See their full project description below.

The following is a set of photos and musings from Keikichi Honna documenting his experience in Germany and the rigorous process of hand writting black-letter type for his installation piece. “Cunst” is Keikichi’s intentional misspelling of “kunst,” the German word for art.
Keikichi Honna, one of our favorite local artists, recently left California for a residency in Germany. Below is an excerpt from a recent correspondence and some photos of his adopted studio space.
