Cybernated art is very important, but art for cybernated life is more important, and the latter need not be cybernated. - Nam June Paik

ORGANIZING DATA

"Visual metaphors are a powerful aid to human thinking. From Sanskrit through hieroglyphics to modern alphabet, we have ciphers, objects, and illustrations to share meaning with other people, thus enabling collective and collaborative thought. As out experience of the world has become more complex and nuanced, the demands to our thinking aids have increased proportionally. Diagrams, data graphics, and visual confections have become the language we resort to in this abstract complex world. They help us understand, create, and completely experience reality." Introduction for the book DATA FLOW: Visualizing Information In Graphic Design by Gestalten.

"Micro/macro composition also oversees celebrated 1930 poster composed by the Soviet graphic artist Gustav Klutisis. The design and the political point correspond-as the poster shows and also writes out, from collaborative work many hands, one great plan will be fulfilled. At work here is a critical and effective principle of information design." (Simular Ideas we was discussing about signals processing.)
