Each piece expands on emerging trends, devices, foibles, and phenomena engendered by an increased reliance on interactions with interfaces in the discipline. The essays ask, how do we characterize our post-digital design labor? What are the politics of design software? How is architecture adapting to a world largely dependent on platforms and scripts? What are the spatial mechanisms of the internet and VR? Using storytelling techniques, this book accepts that software is everywhere, and narrows in on a few ways it has taken command of our cultural products. ---------------- Galo Canizares 2019 ---------------- 6x9in 200 pages Hardback, debossed cover 4-color offset ---------------- First Edition ISBN: 978-1-943532-51-3 Published by AR+D Book design by Anthony Zukofsky Printed in China 24.95 USD https://www.criticalsoftware.org/product/digital-fabrications-designer-stories-for-a-software-based-planet https://assets.bigcartel.com/product_images/399143907/Square.png https://assets.bigcartel.com/product_images/399144264/Pages_01.png,https://assets.bigcartel.com/product_images/399144258/Pages_02.png,https://assets.bigcartel.com/product_images/399144252/Pages_03.png,https://assets.bigcartel.com/product_images/399144255/Pages_05.png 111861726 new in stock 110533461 PRINTERS by itsgalo PRINTERS is a generative animated artwork released as a series of 256 editions linked to corresponding tokens on the Tezos blockchain.
