You’re doing it wrong: a celebration of ‘worst’ practices
summary
Year‑long weekly hand-drawn postcards exchange reframes data collection as meditation and produces a MoMA‑acquired book used in curricula by 150,000 students; a hospital commission turns anonymized heart and lung traces into 192 inpatient room artworks; a Facebook residency converts a month of timeline interactions into dance; a scale‑only children’s book wins the Royal Society prize after 11,500 young people vote it best. Work stays low‑fi and analog, builds games and system diagrams, and consistently trades “best practice” precision for connection, education and museum‑level impact.
