Electronic Products, Aesthetic Experience, And Critical Design
Ratings1
Average rating5
Dunne's dissertation, advocating industrial designers to not get lost in making products as user-friendly as possible, but to borrow from art and have objects be surreal, mysterious, un-obvious, confusing and controversial in their design and user-experience. To communicate critical messages, inspire and provoke further discourse on these objects that invade so much of our everyday life. Dunne's focus are electronic objects and his quest is to communicate their invisible reality, of being far-reaching overlapping electromagnetic-fields instead of just simple discrete matter. Great great book with tons of inspiration and ideas.
