I am just starting to read this book called by Designing design.
First, when I saw this book, I was surprised because of the thickness of the book.
Also simple design of the book cover made me refresh. When I went through the book, Font face and size made me pleased.
It is really well-designed book I think.
Now it is the time to read to check the content! I am so excited!

Why do we need software to design? Why are the artist and the technologist getting together?
Why do we need technology to express our art work or idea?
In this book, it says that software(technology) will be instrumental in redefining the entire area of esthetic awareness.
From the past, we are having lots of art works but we couldn’t participate in there.. but after having technology, we start to make something interactive, so people can interact with it to have better idea and understanding. In this sense, I think software is an important thing as an instrument.
Also, in this chepter it mentions about Labyrinth made by Ted Nelson and Seek made by Nicholas Negroponts.

9 evening
-Theater-Festival, Armory Hall, New York: In the 1960s, what would later lead to the founding of the organization Experiments in Art and Technology, was first put into practice on a large scale by ten New York artists as a unique festival for electronic as well as interactive performances and demonstrations. The idea of collaborating with technicians, not only initiated by Robert Rauschenberg and Billy Klüver but also organized and largely promoted by them, lead to the performances suggested by the festival title: Nine Evenings with performances by John Cage, Lucinda Childs, Merce Cunningham, Öyvind Fahlström, Alex Hay, Deborah Hay, Steve Paxton, Robert Rauschenberg, David Tudor, and Robert Whitman.
The Pavilion
-“The initial concern of the artists who designed the Pavilion was that the quality of the experience of the visitor should involve choice, responsibility, freedom, and participation. The Pavilion would not tell a story or guide the visitor through a didactic, authoritarian experience. The visitor would be encouraged as an individual to explore the environment and compose his own experience.”
