10 Bullets. By Tom Sachs

1.1M views · 15 years ago · other · evergreen

10 Bullets is a video by artist Tom Sachs laying out the working principles of his studio, a set of rules for how to work, care for tools and treat others. It is known in part for the principle Always Be Knolling.

HN people treat it as a studio manual worth borrowing from for offices, noting that one submission calls it required viewing for new employees, and cite its knolling rule.

“Better for a studio than a startup office — but worth a look nonetheless.”

"Always. Be. Knolling." [0], is probably my favorite of Tom Sachs' Ten Bullets. As a whole, it's a pretty good office manual. Better for a studio than a startup office — but worth a look nonetheless. 0 - ▶ this video
