Being ambidextrous with Eastern and Western cultures, he can see things most of us overlook. The result is a humor and expression that brings out the best in computers and art."--Nicholas Negroponte<br><br>John Maeda is one of the world's leading experimental graphic designers and is quickly becoming a digital culture icon. His early preoccupation with the intersection of computer programming and digital art has resulted in a fascinating, interactive, and stunningly beautiful collection of work. Maeda has pioneered many of the key expressive elements that are prevalent on the web today. Among his most well-known works are <i>The Reactive Square</i>, which features a simple black square on a computer screen that changes shape if one yells at it, and <i>Time Paint</i>, in which paint flies across the screen. He has created innovative, interactive calendars, digital services, and advertisements for companies such as Sony, Shiseido, and Absolut Vodka.<br><br>This is the first publication to present a complete overview of Maeda's work and philosophy. A glorious visual exploration of ideas and graphic form, <i>Maeda @ Media</i> takes you through Maeda's beginnings in early computerized printouts, to his reactive graphics on CD-ROM, to his dynamic experiments on the web, to his pedagogical approach to digital visual art, and finally to his overarching quest to understand the very nature of the relationship between technology and creativity. Six thematic chapters provide an overview of his entire career and research. But this is not just a catalog of older work: interspersed between each chapter is a new visual essay that has been created exclusively for this publication to underline each of the major themes.<br><br>Coming together in a massive 480 pages, printed in a dazzling array of color combinations on three different kinds of paper, the result is a manifesto, a finely crafted manual and inspiration sourcebook all in one.<br><br>With over 1000 illustrations.<br></div>555512000Maeda @ Mediatotal:33|5:16|4:15|3:1|2:1|3314553200falsefalseTue Jul 01 00:00:00 -0700 2008Sun Dec 14 22:26:52 -0800 2008Sun Dec 14 22:27:11 -0800 200840falsefalseSun Aug 24 00:00:00 -0700 2008Thu Jul 24 15:15:31 -0700 2008Sun Aug 24 22:58:18 -0700 200800falsefalseSun Oct 11 08:39:32 -0700 2009Sun Oct 11 08:39:32 -0700 200900falsefalseFri Oct 02 00:50:24 -0700 2009Fri Oct 02 00:50:24 -0700 200950falsefalseTue Sep 29 07:45:29 -0700 2009Tue Sep 29 07:45:29 -0700 200900falsefalseSun Sep 06 05:55:33 -0700 2009Sun Sep 06 05:55:33 -0700 200900falsefalseThu Aug 20 09:51:14 -0700 2009Thu Aug 20 09:51:19 -0700 200940falsefalseWed Aug 19 12:03:02 -0700 2009Wed Aug 19 12:03:02 -0700 200940falsefalseTue Jun 30 09:50:46 -0700 2009Tue Jun 30 09:50:46 -0700 200940falsefalseWed Jun 10 07:15:15 -0700 2009Wed Jun 10 07:15:15 -0700 200940falsefalseSat Mar 07 09:00:21 -0800 2009Sat Mar 07 09:00:21 -0800 200900falsefalseThu Feb 26 15:16:45 -0800 2009Thu Feb 26 15:16:45 -0800 200950falsefalseSun Mar 29 23:59:26 -0700 2009Tue Feb 24 04:38:49 -0800 2009Sun Mar 29 23:59:26 -0700 200950falsefalseWed Feb 11 21:29:32 -0800 2009Wed Feb 11 21:29:32 -0800 200900falsefalseSat Jan 24 16:57:49 -0800 2009Sat Jan 24 16:57:49 -0800 200950falsefalseSat Jan 17 13:34:04 -0800 2009Sat Jan 17 13:34:04 -0800 200900falsefalseSat Jan 03 19:03:22 -0800 2009Sat Jan 03 19:03:22 -0800 200950falsefalseThu Nov 27 07:47:29 -0800 2008Thu Nov 27 07:47:29 -0800 200830falsefalseTue Oct 28 05:09:27 -0700 2008Tue Oct 28 05:09:27 -0700 200800falsefalseMon Oct 27 17:50:25 -0700 2008Mon Oct 27 17:50:34 -0700 2008
