Résumé

Few digital designers and artists have had the long-term international impact of John Maeda. His work in the print and digital realms has influenced an entire generation of designers. His role as an educator is perhaps even more influential than his design projects but has largely remained out of sight. For seven years Maeda and his students in the Aesthetics and Computation Group (ACG) at the MIT Media Lab have created some of the most digitally sophisticated and exciting pieces of design to emerge anywhere, with several of the group's members graduating to international acclaim. Little of this intensive research and ground-breaking work, however, has been seen outside the laboratory.

Creative Code presents the most fascinating work produced by the group, arranged into themes that apply to today's most pertinent design issues: information visualization, digital typography, abstraction, interaction design and education. Each section also features brief essays by leading names in the field of interaction and digital design - Casey Reas, David Small, Joshua Davis, Yugo Nakamura and Gillian Crampton Smith.

This rich compilation, by some of the most inventive minds working in this ever-expanding field, offers a blueprint for the humane integration of digital design in our culture and lives. Deftly bridging the chasm between art and science, John Maeda, a true pioneer in the digital realm, is continually finding new ways of merging artistic expression with digital technology to lead to a greater understanding and richness of human experience.

L'auteur - Jones Maeda

John Maeda heads the MIT Media Lab's Physical Language Workshop and is recognized worldwide for his visionary role in shifting visual design from print to the digital realm. A recipient of some of the world's most prestigious design awards, Maeda has most recently been honoured with the Smithsonian Institution's National Design Award and Japan's Mainichi Design Prize. His first major manifesto-cum-monograph, MAEDA@MEDIA (2000), documented his complete oeuvre.
