Design Anarchy

“Designers are to our information age what engineers were to the age of steam, what scientists were to the age of reason. They set the mood of the mental environment — the look and lure of magazines, the tone and pull of TV, the give-and-take of the Net. They create the envy and desire that fuels the economy and the cynicism that underlies our postmodern condition. But the most exciting thing about design today is not the digital pyrotechnics, the exploding, mutating forms — the wild anarchy of it all. It’s the politics.”
