ABOUT
neu•tral•mo•tive / nü-trəl mōtiv / - (noun)
Definition of neutralmotive -
neutralmotive is an unbiased perspective. It’s the idea of maintaining neutral state of mind until all information is delivered & processed. It is then that a bias can be made or a design implemented. Neutral is not the same as being static or stagnant. It exists in a dynamic state, directly between two opposing forces. It is always in tension - it is intense.neutralmotive is -
Jesse Madrid’s alter ego, and also best explains him. neutralmotive was created in the summer of 2003 after 19 years of development. He broadened his skills at the Southern California Institute of Architecture (SCI-Arc) where he began experimenting in alchemizing architecture & media technology. 9 years later (present time) he continues his pursuit in hybridizing both disciplines - everyday a little bit more refined, everyday a little bit closer.
neutralmotive believes -
design must be simple, honest, & pure. He believes in a tabula rasa design approach, where every project is a new investigation requiring new solutions. No project is the same. This doesn’t mean that one cannot use what was learned from a previous exploration or project; it just means that a cookie-cutter approach doesn’t exist in his vocabulary or design methodology.

NEUTRAL MEDIA
about
NEUTRAL is one half of neutralmotive that focuses on all-things- media. It spawned from the idea that all media must be presented with an unbiased perspective, it must remain neutral. Doing so otherwise creates a bias and distorts/influences the perspective of the viewer. NEUTRAL strongly believes that it is up to each individual to interpret the information given in any media and form their own opinionated truth.me•di•a /mē-dē-ə/ - adjective
Appropriated definition of media -
1. A means of mass communication, such as newspapers, magazines, radio, t.v., or web.
2. Where truth & honesty lie.
