Immutable designing history / Chris Lee   Author:  Lee, Chris author Title:  Immutable designing history / Chris Lee Publisher:  Eindhoven Onomatopee [2022] Description:  126 pages illustrations, facsimiles, maps, plans, portraits 24 cm Series:  Onomatopee ; -- 199 Summary:  Immutable: Designing History' explores the banal genre of the document and its entanglement with statecraft and colonial(ism/ity). This is framed as a ~5,000 year chronology, imbricating the developments of money and writing ? from Mesopotamian clay tablets to distributed ledgers, like the blockchain. Immutability figures as a design imperative and hermeneutic for considering a variety of techniques (material, technological, administrative, et cetera) of securitization against the entropy of a document?s movement through space/time, and the political.00This project is driven by a contrast: design educators tend to teach forms like logos, books, websites, et cetera, but not passports, money, property deeds, et cetera, in spite of these being, I contend, design?s most profoundly consequential forms.00As an alternative historiography, ?Immutable? gestures both towards anthropologist Laura Nader?s call to ?study up? (on those in power), and the radical educator Paolo Freire?s recognition of the ?limit situation? as a generative condition for emancipatory praxis. The book?s aim is to orient graphic design towards the vocation of imagining, naming, and remembering beyond the horizons of its role as a managerial, administrative, and colonial instrument that imposes a rationality of vision and accountability upon what is knowable, thinkable and sayable.00Chris Lee is a graphic designer and educator based in Buffalo and Brooklyn, NY. He is a graduate of OCADU and the Sandberg Instituut. His research/studio practice explores graphic design?s entanglement with power, standards, and the document. Chris is an Assistant Professor in the Undergraduate Communications Design Department at the Pratt Institute Bibliography Note:  Includes bibliographical references Local Note:  CHM copy purchased with Adopt-a-Book funds Subject:  Graphic design (Typography) -- History Graphic design (Typography) -- Political aspects Money -- History Industrial design -- History Graphic design (Typography) Industrial design Money Genre:  History Added Series:  Onomatopee (Series) ; no. 199 Catalog Source No.:  (OCoLC)on1235416693 ISBN:  9493148424 9789493148420 Copy/Holding information Call No. Collection Barcode Status   Z246 .L44 2022 Cooper-Hewitt Smithsonian Design Library 39088020375119 Checked In Request Copy Add Copy to MyList Format: HTMLPlain textDelimited Subject:   Email to:
