Articles liés à Interface Criticism: Aesthetics Beyond Buttons
Synopsis
From the screen of our laptops, and from the ubiquitous portable devices, smart phones, and media players, to the embedded computation in clothes, architecture and big urban screens, interfaces are everywhere. They are simultaneously demanding our attention and computing quietly in the background, turning action into interaction, and mediating our experience of and relations to the social and environmental. But how can aesthetics respond to this, and how do interfaces set the scene for artistic practices? This book is not another design manual but a critical investigation for readers interested in the aesthetic, cultural and political dimensions of interfaces. With contributions from leading researchers within the field, the book covers a wide range of aesthetic expressions -- including urban screens, wearable interfaces, performances, games, net-art, software art, and sound art, and discusses how new cultures evolve around, for example, open source or live coding. The volume critically investigates the aesthetics of inter-faces in ways that transcend the iconic surface of the graphical user interface and goes beyond the buttons. Ultimately the book develops interface aesthetics as an appropriate paradigm for a critical discussion of the computer.

Soft cover. Etat : Very Good. 1st Edition. Paperback, 295 pages, illustrations in text, NOT ex-library. Gentle wear, book is clean and bright with unmarked text, free of inscriptions, firmly bound. -- The book explores the cultural and aesthetic dimensions of interfaces in modern digital technology. It critiques how interfaces - beyond their practical, button-based functions - are cultural artifacts that shape and mediate our interactions with technology and the world. The authors examine how the design and structure of interfaces influence communication, art, media, and human experience, delving into their broader societal and aesthetic implications. Through a collection of essays, the book introduces the idea that interfaces are not neutral gateways but active participants in the representation and manipulation of content. The authors argue for a deeper understanding of how digital interfaces shape user interaction, perception, and media consumption, advocating for a critical approach to interface design that recognizes their artistic and cultural roles. This work provides a broad theoretical framework for discussing interfaces, drawing from disciplines like media studies, art theory, philosophy, and computer science. The essays cover topics such as: - The aesthetic and cultural significance of interfaces; - The evolution of interface design from graphical user interfaces to more intuitive and immersive systems; - The impact of interfaces on art, literature, and media; - The role of interaction design in shaping digital experiences; - The concept of interface criticism as a method for understanding the interplay between form and function in digital media. By examining the cultural aesthetics beyond the buttons, icons, and screens of technology, Interface Criticism offers insights into how we experience and interpret the digital age.
