Art and the Future: A History/Prophecy of the Collaboration Between Science, Technology and Art by Douglas Davis

By now, I'm thoroughly sick of the emphasis on technology. For me, I think it's time we pd more attn to telepathy & less attn to computers. &, yet, I'm not telepathic & I'm writing this on a computer & you're reading it on one (probably). SO, oh well.. In other words, this is a great bk despite it all. & the idea of an Artists Strike (later revivified by the neoists) is mentioned. As is Lo-Fi. So it's not like the whole thing's about selling you an iPod. P.S. I added the bk cover image b/c show more the bk listed here is close enuf to the edition I have but the actual edition listed may've had a different cover. show less

Creative Strategy and the Business of Design by Douglas Davis

Valuable guidebook that I'll keep handy in all my creative projects and career moves. However it is very dryly written.
