{"product_id":"9781503600522","title":"Artful Design : Technology in Search of the Sublime, a MusiComic Manifesto","description":"\u003cp\u003eWhat we make, makes us. This is the central tenet of Artful Design, a photorealistic comic book that examines the nature, purpose, and meaning of design. A call to action and a meditation on art, authenticity, and social connection in a world disrupted by technological change, this book articulates a fundamental principle for design: that we should design not just from practical needs but from the values that underlie those needs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e Artful Design takes readers on a journey through the aesthetic dimensions of technology. Using music as a universal phenomenon that has evolved alongside technology, this book breaks down concrete case studies in computer-mediated toys, tools, games, and instruments, including the best-selling app Ocarina. Every chapter elaborates a set of general design principles and strategies that illuminate the essential relationship between aesthetics and engineering, art and design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e Ge Wang implores us to both embrace and confront technology, not purely as a means to an end, but in its potential to enrich life. Technology is never a neutral agent, but through what we do with it—through what we design with it—it provides a mirror to our human endeavors and values. Artful Design delivers an aesthetic manifesto of technology, accessible yet uncompromising.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Stanford University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42605823000651,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":1604.39,"currency_code":"THB","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0641\/0023\/7387\/files\/9781503600522-1.jpg?v=1783447897","url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.co.th\/products\/9781503600522","provider":"Books Kinokuniya Thailand","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
