Mind Grenades: Manifestos from the Future / Plunkett, John, editor ; Rossetto, Louis, editor ; McLuhan M., 1996

 Item
Identifier: CC-30245-31648
Scope and Contents

This book is comprised of the opening quotes (manifestos) of Wired magazine that influenced the graphics, text and visuals of each issue. Marshall McLuhan, in the first issue of Wired and the first page of this volume, is quoted from his book in 1967, 'The Medium is the Massage,' "The medium, or process, of our time - electrical technology - is reshaping and restructuring patterns of social interdependence and every aspect of our personal life. It is forcing us to reconsider and re-evaluate practically every thought, every action, and every institution formerly taken for granted. Everything is changing...You, your education, your family, your neighborhood, your government, your job, your relationship to 'the others.' And they 're changing dramatically." The remaining IntroQuotes from Wired are presented in dramatic colors with clear, bold typography and visual effects. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.

Scope and Contents This book served as the catalogue for the exhibition at the Cooper-Hewitt National Design Museum, Smithsonian Institution. The exhibition was organized around questions of form, function, and medium and focused on designers beginning their careers in the 1980s and 1990s. The first section dealt with messages on the street, graphic design competing for public attention. Next, typography was analyzed, the art of creating letters for reproduction and organizing them in space. The third section of the book considered the chief social function of design: to visualize the identity of institutions and audiences. The last chapter looked at publishing including books, magazines and computers. Selected interviews with noted graphic designers appear in the final section of the book. Pages of the following items, which are held by the Sackner Archive, "Through Light and the Alphabet" by Johanna Drucker, the 1989 Time Warner Annual Report, and the Independent Project Press are reproduced.
