Produktbeschreibungen
Amazon.co.uk
John Maeda is a disgustingly renaissance kind of guy--he studied computer science at MIT and then went to art school in Japan, returning to the US to work with designer Paul Rand. He is, unsurprisingly, director of the MIT Media Lab's Aesthetics and Computation Group.
What this all means is if you fancy judging his book, maeda@media, by it's intricate, beautiful cover, or indeed by any one of its gorgeous pages, feel free to do so. It showcases Maeda's work over the past decade, and--divided into 12 chapters such as "space" and "noise"--very stunning it is, too, despite a rather gratuitous intro by that ubiquitous new-media maven, Nicholas Negroponte.
Maeda identifies the main challenge in juxtaposing aesthetics and computational data as resolving the tension between simplicity and the complexity that inevitably results "when you attempt to reduce an already simple situation or form". If this much theory makes you anxious, fret not: Maeda is no preachy prima donna, and the book is supremely practical. As he observes, he once found himself "in the midst of a struggle to reconcile my romantic notions of design with the considerably less idealistic realization that design was nothing more than another way to make a living". --Liz Bailey -- Dieser Text bezieht sich auf eine andere Ausgabe: Taschenbuch .

Exquisite, and if it's a bit bloated we'll let that pass
31. Januar 2001
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
I have nothing but respect for John Maeda.
He's one of those rare people who stands at the cusp of three or four disciplines - say graphic design, programming, information architecture, and fine art - and exerts a gentle gravitational attraction on the long-sundered fields. He's a true practitioner of what E.O. Wilson calls "consilience," and I find his work unfailingly beautiful.
"Maeda@Media" is a far more comprehensive introduction to and summary of his work than his earlier ""Design by Numbers." It is also an exquisitely produced volume, and if it is occasionally self-indulgent (spending 60-odd pages on a graphic that spells out "IT IS CUSTOMARY THAT THE SIDES OF A PAGE BE NEGLECTED IN FAVOR OF ITS FRONT AND BACK" on their edges) - well, I'll forgive that. It's a gorgeous tome.
Maeda is doing vital and inspiring work; this book should be a kick in the pants to all those of us who work in any of the disparate fields his work touches upon: only connect.

A Monument to Information Society
12. Dezember 2000
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
I have always been impressed with John Maeda's work: "Tap, Type, Write" is beautifully interactive, "Design By Numbers" is extremely innovative. Professor Maeda's newest endeavor, Maeda@Media is no different. It is a monument to Information Aesthetics and an icon for Information Society at large. The book itself, is painstakenly crafted with different types of papers. The images inside evoke a million poignant words. Professor Maeda's insights are invaluable. John Maeda uncovers a rare beauty in computing.
Very Inspirational ...

I have some programming skills and a budding web designer. I was really impressed with this body of work, especially considering the time frame it covers. The value for me was that the reader gets an understanding <albeit limited> of what the "artist" has rendered. You you have read any of Paul Rand's essays, you can identify the significance of this work. This book is not a quick read, but a meal of ideas to be savored. I am still savoring this book, and it is really one of the best books I have enjoyed.
Thanks!
