ARTFUL DESIGN — A new (comic) book by Ge Wang!


What is the nature of design, and the meaning it holds in human life? What does it mean to design well -- to design ethically? How can the shaping of technology reflect our values as human beings?  These are the questions addressed in Ge Wang's new book, ARTFUL DESIGN (check it out: https://artful.design/).

Meticulously designed as a comic book for the “engineer with a soul”, ARTFUL DESIGN: TECHNOLOGY IN SEARCH OF THE SUBLIME explores how we shape technology, and how technology shapes all of us in turn. Using music technology as a vehicle, this book presents concrete case studies of tools, toys, computer music instruments, software, games, and social networks. Every chapter elaborates a set of design principles and strategies that illuminate the essential relationship between art and engineering, ethics and our technological-mediated society.

Written by Stanford University & CCRMA Professor Ge Wang (creator of the ChucK music programming language, director of the Stanford Laptop Orchestra, and designer of Ocarina for the iPhone), ARTFUL DESIGN is a genre- and discipline-crossing exploration into the ethical and aesthetic dimensions of technology -- and a meditation for all engineers, tool-builders, and anyone curious about design as a profound agent that shapes our world, our society, and ourselves.
