Artful Design: Technology in Search of the Sublime, A MusiComic Manifesto [Wang, Ge] on desertcart.com. *FREE* shipping on qualifying offers. Artful Design: Technology in Search of the Sublime, A MusiComic Manifesto

Review: a truly remarkable book - I bought this book awhile ago, but just recently had the chance to read through it. What a fun and amazing read! Ge's presentation and creativity is truly inspiring, which is what I believe is his primary objective in the book. At first I thought "oh this is just goofiness that will wash out", but the further I went in the book the more I realized that Ge was grappling with deep ideas AND doing a bang-up pedagogical job, too. I plan to use this in my classes as an outstanding example of what's possible if you're willing to stretch your thinking a bit. Thanks, Ge! *Highly* recommended for anyone working in the creative/design arts. Heck, *highly* recommended for most anyone, period.
Review: One of the best design books out there currently... - Framed in the lens of a computer music scientist and innovative music interface designer, this book tells a story of form and function that delves into the deeper philosophical realms of creativity and social/cultural responsibility of designers and technologists. The book cumulates into a manifesto for humanist engineering, driven by flourishing (wo)man-kind. The form of the book matches its high performing function, delivered in a graphic novel format that is easily digested and entertaining. Incredible piece of work, that picks up beautifully where design thinking and human centered design leave off.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Design and aesthetics
*by S***. on October 15, 2018*

Through the stories of designing computer music instruments, the book approaches more philosophical questions such as aesthetics and design principles. Reading the book is a wonderful journey.
