[14.9] Session 13 – Design issues and processes
Lecture and seminar by David Lamas
Driving question:
How is New Media designed and deployed?
Is it art or engineering?
The walls between art and engineering exist only in our minds
Maybe the question that needs to be asked is how far apart art and engineering actually are. In general it seems that people put them at opposite sides of the spectrum with art being all about creativity and engineering all logical and scientific.
For me the art of engineering is so much more than just creativity – it is something that goes to the core of function, aesthetics, and problem solving. I believe that we as engineers need to create solutions that actually enhance people's lives. The point where all of this comes together is the point were we as engineers can start to be artists.
It is more than function and more than beauty – true engineering art should take your breath away and change the way you see the world. That is the kind of art that I want to create.
