attempting to establish design as culture theory - but you miss the whole point.

----------------.. which is?
- fawn0
are you really having a design discussion or are you talking nonsense while mr dinky keeps asking "are we going to gang bang?"
- Kuz0
that you can't single out design. You take it out of the wider context of culture theory.
- Solid0
FYI Fawn gang-bangs and design are mutually dependent .. which is what we're discussing ATM :D
- Kuz0
as a result all you will get is a bunch of nonsence and people talking loudly
ala design observer

zhedvox - thanks, but i can't. about to have to get some serious work done. :-) maybe i can get a raincheck...
Kuz- it's intersting from an acedemic perspective. i believe it is this kind of dialogue that helps to establish graphic design among its rightful place with the more uhmm... respected disicplines.

btw i wasnt singling out design from culture...but the issues i mentioned in my first post are very vital to design and how they play their part in the wider cultural landscape.
dont they?

------------What is, in your opinion, the proper way to frame a discussion about design?
- zhedfoxx0
Dear Ivan,
Are you suggesting that talking about design with Solid and Cosmo whilst engaged in superhyper gang bang is not serious work.Pfft,

- ivan_cook0
not at all. :-)
i've just been reading some of rick poyner & michael rock's stuff from 1995 about design criticism and it's got me all worked up.

i come from an arch. bkg. and for better or worse this kind of dialogue is very much a part of our culture.
