Items related to High Touch: Tactile Design and Visual Explorations
Synopsis
Today’s visual culture is shaped by a vast wealth of influences from diverse styles, cultures, and eras. Handcrafts including crochet, papercraft, and the design of costumes and masks are being melded with the techniques of more traditional art forms such as installation, sculpture, collage, photography, and illustration. A new visual language is currently being formed out of the skillful and unusual combination of creative styles, as well as the use of an expanded range of materials and techniques. One of the most striking aspects of today’s visual culture is its handcrafted quality. The recent work of many creatives is characterized by craftsmanship and an intensive, even laborious exploration of the featured techniques, materials, or styles. High touch is a term used in design theory to describe an accessible, human visuality. The book High Touch is a compilation of current work that is broadening and enriching this definition in a contemporary way. It presents a rich selection of innovative, often handmade design created with the full spectrum of materials and stylistic devices in existence today―all of which also strive to expand this palette of visual possibilities in a meaningful way.

Hardcover. Condition: Fair. Deformation der Bindung. Die heutige visuelle Kultur lebt von einem riesigen Reservoir an verschiedenen Einflussen aus allen moglichen Kulturepochen und Stilrichtungen. Kunsthandwerke wie Hakeln und Papercraft sowie die Gestaltung von Kostumenoder Masken treffen auf Techniken der traditionellen Kunst wie Installation, Skulptur, Collage, Fadenverspannung sowie Fotografie und Illustration. Durch kunstfertige Kombinationen, Materialerweiterungen und ungewohnteVerbindungen entsteht eine neue Bildsprache. Auffallig fur diese aktuellevisuelle Kultur ist ein oftmals handwerklicher Charakter, denn viele der Arbeitensetzen Geschicklichkeit und eine intensive, oftmals langwierige Beschaftigung mit den eingesetzten Techniken, dem Material oder dem angewandten Stil voraus. High Touch ist ein Begriff aus der Gestaltungstheorie und beschreibt eine zugangliche, menschliche Designsprache. Das Buch High Touch stellt aktuelle Arbeiten vor, die diesen Begriff zeitgemass bereichern. Es prasentiert innovative, oftmals handgemachte Gestaltung, deren Reichtum auf der freien Verwendung aller zuganglichen Materialien und Stilmittel beruht - stets mitdem Anspruch, die Palette der visuellen Moglichkeiten sinnvoll zu erweitern.
