Book Synopsis Fewer, Better Things by : Glenn Adamson
Download or read book Fewer, Better Things written by Glenn Adamson and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2018-08-07 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the former director of the Museum of Arts and Design in New York, a timely and passionate case for the role of the well-designed object in the digital age. Curator and scholar Glenn Adamson opens Fewer, Better Things by contrasting his beloved childhood teddy bear to the smartphones and digital tablets children have today. He laments that many children and adults are losing touch with the material objects that have nurtured human development for thousands of years. The objects are still here, but we seem to care less and know less about them. In his presentations to groups, he often asks an audience member what he or she knows about the chair the person is sitting in. Few people know much more than whether it's made of wood, plastic, or metal. If we know little about how things are made, it's hard to remain connected to the world around us. Fewer, Better Things explores the history of craft in its many forms, explaining how raw materials, tools, design, and technique come together to produce beauty and utility in handmade or manufactured items. Whether describing the implements used in a traditional Japanese tea ceremony, the use of woodworking tools, or the use of new fabrication technologies, Adamson writes expertly and lovingly about the aesthetics of objects, and the care and attention that goes into producing them. Reading this wise and elegant book is a truly transformative experience.
Download or read book Complements written by Patricia Z. Smith and published by Goff Books. This book was released on 2021-06-07 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Complements is a gem, an intimate book to be savored on first readings and held near as a resource on what is real. It contains 115 luscious photos of small objects juxtaposed in ways that evoke emotions, thoughts, questions, and remembrance of beauty. The photographs tell stories, make wry jokes, and elude to larger realities of the esoteric. As complements, the objects are more than the sum of their parts. A sentence or two of text accompanies each photograph, creating storylines that draw the viewer into the world of the objects as strongly as if they were human, except, their not being human allows the viewer a purer sense of what they tell us. David Hume Kennedy, the Pulitzer Prize-winning photographer, says in the foreword, "The narrative and pictures reunite twins separated at birth." The photographs pull the viewer in with their emotional content, then ask the viewer to step back for another look--to both feel and think, to understand truths beyond words.

The topics fanned across various fields involving computing, Internet of Things, data science, and artificial intelligence. Learned scholars from all walks of life assembled under one roof to share their unique, original, and breakthrough researches and paved a new technological path for the world. Many of the studies seek to change the face of the world itself. Their innovative thinking indeed aims to solve several gruesome problems in the field of communication, data science, ambient intelligence, networking, computing, security, and privacy. The authors have strived to render valuable pieces of study in this edition and hope to acquire enthusiastic support from the readers.
Book Synopsis Small-great Objects by : Jennifer Reynolds-Kaye
Download or read book Small-great Objects written by Jennifer Reynolds-Kaye and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2017-01-01 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Small-Great Objects presents a remarkable look into the art-collecting practices of two of modern art's most widely influential figures, Anni (1899-1994) and Josef (1888-1976) Albers. Their impressive collection of over 1,400 objects from Latin America, namely Mexico and Peru, represents a conscious endeavor that goes well beyond that of a casual hobby, displaying a deep appreciation for the art, textiles, and overall ingenuity of the ancient American world. This insightful book draws on primary-source materials such as the couple's letters, personal papers, and archival photographs--many never before published--and demonstrates their conviction that these Prehispanic objects displayed a formal sophistication and bold abstraction that defy the prevalent conception of the works as "primitive." Moreover, it shows how the Alberses spread their appreciation of the ancient world to others, through their teachings, their writings, and their own art practices.
