From the Ted Talk by Paola Antonelli: Treat design as art

Unscramble the Blue Letters


The next show that I'm going to work on — and I've been bugging a lot of you about this here — is about the relationship between design and science. I'm trying to find not the metaphors, but, rather, the points in common — the common gripes, the cmoomn issues, the common preoccupations — and I think that it will enable us to go a little further in this idea of design as an instruction, as a direction rather than a psiortcpiern of form.

And I am hoping that many of you will respond to this. I've sent an email already to quite a few of you. But design and science and the possibility of visualizing different slaces, and therefore, really work at the scale of the very samll to make it very big and very mnniafegul. Thank you. (aaupsple)

The next show that I'm going to work on — and I've been bugging a lot of you about this here — is about the relationship between design and science. I'm trying to find not the metaphors, but, rather, the points in common — the common gripes, the common issues, the common preoccupations — and I think that it will enable us to go a little further in this idea of design as an instruction, as a direction rather than a prescription of form.

And I am hoping that many of you will respond to this. I've sent an email already to quite a few of you. But design and science and the possibility of visualizing different scales, and therefore, really work at the scale of the very small to make it very big and very meaningful. Thank you. (Applause)
