Climaxing

I’m quietly obsessed with this dance sequence that kicks in about 10 minutes into Gaspar Noé’s film “Climax”. It is sublime, and there is more to notice every time I watch.

I regularly re-watch the sequence, just trying to follow the movements of individual performers in the ensemble. Sometimes, I just like to let the whole thing wash over me.

I also 🤩 the main title sequence, and that it happens 46 minutes into the film, just as things really start getting freaky.

The “Climax” titles are right up there with the title sequence from Noé’s “Enter the Void”.

A bit from BITS

I went to Bangkok, Thailand, for the first time last month, attending the the BITS design conference with a few colleagues on behalf of our employer. While I was still in town after the conference I was invited to stop by the Cadson Demak podcast. (See just the bit in English on Monotype’s Foundry Platform.)

We talked about my role as Director of Inventory Strategy & Curation at Monotype, and discussed font licensing and the rise of subscription models. Among other things, I explained how a shift away from perpetual licenses can give foundries increased discoverability and secure a steady income stream.
