Slicing the Chain to the Future

From BOND magazine issue 2 / 2010 where I’ve written interviews with three amazing creative business leaders:

“Society pushes us to label ourselves but you don’t have to do it. As soon as we define ourselves we make borders and limits. I don’t think we are happy the next day with the self-definition. I am not a designer, I am not a programmer, I am not a businessman and I am not a cook and I am not a driver and I also don’t have a company and I am not owner of anything. I am a man on this planet and of indefinable activity.” Juraj Andrascik, online game development company owner famous for multi award winning games across the globe

“Children are our future so the more care we take about their engagement with new technology and the more we research the impact the better. Complex psychological and sociological analysis would be very useful to predict situations so we can act according to results.” Marian Ferko, game development business owner well known for 3D action and strategy games

“The mainstream is films that are “amusement park thrill rides”, lacking any deeper content, packaged harmlessly around a popular message such as world peace or environmental responsibility. Screening in a cinema is insufficient because it’s framed as transient entertainment value. There needs to be a will to discuss films with a deeper social content.” Ondej Svadlena, digital animation film maker
