| Summary: | Beneath the glossy surface of official design lurks a strange world driven by human needs, where electronica objects co-star in a noir thriller. Design noir is a guidebook to an invisible but very real landscape, shaped by electromagnetic forces we do not usually acknowledge and can hardly sense. The authors explre the way we interact with electronic objects, our environment and other people. They are designers who develop ideas for products that make our lives richer, if not necessarly more comfortable. Most electronic products are bland and predictable, designed for mass appeal this book makes the case for different experiences and genres, for environment and products that can be disturbing, subversive, funny and poetic. |
