Start PARADOX Start Mihai Nadin WIR SIND WAS WIR TUN von Mihai Nadin Das Wort "Design" hat einen lateinischen Ursprung und bedeutet "von dem Zei-chen", "aus dem Zeichen", "in Anbetracht des Zeichen", "gemäß des Zeichen", "durch das Medium des Zeichen". Ich zitiere aus den Literaturhinweisen meines Buches Jenseits der Schriftkultur [1] und das geschieht nicht zufällig (oder aus Mangel an Ideen). Das Kapitel mit dem Titel "Der Sinn von Design" beschäftigt sich mit der Definition und Gründung von Design in jenem neuen Stadium der Menschheit, das ich "Jenseits der Schriftkultur" nenne. Es platziert Design als eine gute definierte, praktische Erfahrung menschlicher Selbstkonstituierung in die breite Perspektive eines neuen pragmatischen Rahmen. Mit anderen Worten, es setzt die Aktivität, die wir "Design" nennen, in Beziehung zu anderen Aktivitäten ­ Programmierung, Kommunikation, Arbeiten im Netzwerk, Sport, Unterhaltung, Kochen, Ausbildung, Militär, Politik ­ welche das postindustrielle Zeitalter definieren. Dies passiert, indem alle Gemeinsamkeiten zwischen diesen Aktivitäten, wie Dezentralisation, Non-Hierarchie, Parallelismus, Verteilung , Heterogenität zu definieren versucht werden. Das Thema des Buches ist die Dynamik der Veränderung, das heißt die Zukunft. (Tatsächlich ist jede menschliche Aktivität zukunftsorientiert). Die Position, die in mei-nem Buch vertreten wird, ist in Bezug auf eine Diskussion über Design-Grundlagen in einer schwierigen Lage. Grundlagen implizieren Permanenz. Eine meiner wichtigsten Thesen lautet, dass in unserer neuen Zivilisation, die auf der Integration von Mitteln und Methoden wie das Digitale, Genetik, Arbeiten im Netzwerk, Interaktion, etc. basiert, Permanenz der Vergänglichkeit weicht. Mit anderen Worten ich behaupte indirekt, dass man bei der Diskussion der Grundlagen die Dynamik der Veränderung ignoriert, durch welche heute jeder Versuch in Richtung Permanenz unmöglich wird. Um die Dinge auf die Spitze zu treiben entwarf ich ein Verständnis von "Grundlage", welches das

Start PARADOX Start Mihai Nadin WE ARE WHAT WE DO by Mihai Nadin On the semiotic condition of design The word "design," of Latin origin, means "from the sign," "out of the sign," "on account of the sign," "considering the sign," according to the sign," through the medium of the sign." I quote from the reference section of my book, The Civilization of Illiteracy [1], and I do so not by accident (or lack of ideas). The chapter entitled "The Sense of Design" is dedicated to the definition and foundation of design in this new stage of humankind that I call "the civilization of illiteracy." It places design, as a well defined practical experience of human self-constitution in the broad perspective of a new pragmatic framework. In other words, it relates the activity we call "design" to other activities-programming, communication, networking, sports, entertainment, cooking education, military, politics-that define the post-industrial age. And it does so by trying to define commonalities among these activities-such as decentralization, non-hierarchy, parallelism, distribution, heterogeneity. The subject of the book is the dynamics of change, that is, the future. (Actually, any human activity is future oriented.) The position expressed in my book places this contribution to a discussion on design foundations in a difficult perspective. Foundations imply permanence. One of my major theses is that in our new civilization based on integrating means and methods, such as digital, genetic, networking, interaction, etc., permanence gives way to transitoriness. In other words, I indirectly claim that to discuss Foundations (

I was imagining a learning environment where even kindergartners were expected to draw, write, animate, program, and make music as matter of fact. I was imagining an education which could have helped my 19-year-old student get where he wanted to go. The Civilization of Illiteracy Civilization of Illiteracy The Interview Mihai, your book proclaims the end of literacy, but in book form. Isn't this a bit of an oxymoron? Humankind is entering an era in the pragmatic progress of its activity and is discovering that language, the so-called natural language we use to speak and write, cannot function as efficiently as it did before this period. The overhead represented by everything involved in the use of one dominant language is such that it negatively affects human efficiency.

kategorie design fachbücher » Mihai Nadin: Anticipation Mihai Nadin ist Professor an der Universität in Wuppertal. Er ist verantwortlich für den Fachbereich „Computational Design Program“. Über mehrere Jahre hat sich Mihai Nadin mit den Problemfeldern im alltäglichen Designalltag beschäftigt. All diese Gedanken und Erkenntnisse wurden in seinem Werk „Anticipation“ zusammengetragen. Das kürzlich erschienen und hier rezensierte Werk „Es könnte so sein oder auch anders“ verfolgte einen ähnlichen Ansatz. Bei diesem Werk liegt aber obendrein noch eine DVD bei und sogar ein Webseiten-Projekt wurde ins Leben gerufen um durch interdisziplinäre Verknüpfungen mehrere Lösungsansätze aufzuzeigen. Antizipation wird als Ereignis und Prozess in zwölf Kapiteln anhand verschiedener Definitionen bis ins Kleinste aufgedröselt. Man sollte schon einiges an Vorkenntnissen mitbringen um der Thematik folgen zu können. Es geht um bestehende Systeme, deren gegenwärtiger Zustand durch die Wahrnehmung zukünftiger Zustände beeinflusst wird. Ein sehr einfaches Beispiel dafür wäre: Ein Bogenschütze kann nur sein Ziel treffen, wenn er die Flugbahn des Pfeiles im Voraus bedenkt und Körper und Bogen so ausrichtet, dass der Pfeil seinen Voreinstellung gemäß auf das Ziel zufliegt. Zum Buch selber muss man noch einige Worte verlieren. Im Gegensatz zum normalen Aufbau eines Buches, muss man diese Publikation um 90 Grad im Uhrzeigersinn drehen um die Texte lesen zu können.

Invitation Send a Comment Submit an Article Subscribe Anticipatory Computing By Mihai Nadin How expectations, predictions and forecasts affect our lives. Pro-Action vs. Re-Action My claim in 1988 (on the occasion of a lecture presented at Ohio State University where I served as the Eminent Scholar in Art and Design Technology, a chair endowed by the State of Ohio) was that anticipation lies at the foundation of the entire cognitive activity of the human being. Moreover, through anticipation, we humans gain insight into what keeps our world together as a coherent whole whose future states stand in correlation to the present state as minds grasp it. Minds exist only in relation to other minds; they are instantiations of co-relations. For over 300 years since Descartes' major elaborations (1637, 1644) and Newton's Principia (1687) science has advanced in understanding what for all practical purposes came to be known as the reactive modality . Causality is experienced in the reactive model of the universe, to the detriment of any pro-active manifestations of phenomena not reducible to the cause-and-effect chain or describable in the vocabulary of determinism. It is important to understand that what is at issue here is not some silly semantic game, but rather a pragmatic horizon: Are human actions (through which individuals and groups identify themselves, i.e., self-constitute, cf.

This student is very smart, talented, and imaginative; a person who in hours can master any piece of software known to humankind. What he hasn't mastered is paper and pencilhe can't draw. It suddenly dawned on me that this young man is going to be afflicted for the rest of his life by the fact that he can't draw well enough to be the animator he wants to be. His education has essentially rendered him visually illiterate. At the same time, I had been looking at Alan Kay's Squeak project, imagining a world where Squeak was the pencil children used, starting in kindergarten. I was imagining a learning environment where even kindergartners were expected to draw, write, animate, program, and make music as matter of fact. I was imagining an education which could have helped my 19-year-old student get where he wanted to go.

Dresden: Dresden University Press, 1997. 880 pp.; $ 75.00 The Civilization of Illiteracy . For those already comfortable in the civilization he describes, the book is too big and too heavy. And it has no pictures. The loss is theirs. While it is not light reading by any stretch of the imagination, it may be one of the most important volumes of the decade. The Civilization of Illiteracy When Nadin speaks of The Civilization of Illiteracy Netizens , citizens of the Internet and the World Wide Web. As we move deeper into the age of sound bites and surfing the Net, we become overwhelmed by technological hype. Nadin breaks through the confusion. We have moved into an age where everything is pared down to its lowest common dominator, the lowest point that a mass audience can deal with. Our pragmatics demands this! As with a good mystery, the ending should not be revealed. This much can be told: the adaptations and solutions that Nadin proposes provide for a happy end. The volume not only defines the problem but also gives a sense of hope, suggesting some positive methods for addressing our current predicament. He lays out a blueprint for new systems of non-linear education and exchange of ideas. In his vision of new literacies, Nadin feels that education has to become a living process and that we must adapt our pedagogy accordingly.
