John Maeda’s Exhibition
John Maeda is a world-renewed graphic designer, visual artist, and computer scientist at the MIT Media Lab, and is a founding voice for simplicity in the digital age. Named by Esquire magazine as one of the 21 most important people for the twenty-first century, Maeda first made his mark by redefining the use of electronic media as a tool for expression for people of all ages and skills.
John founded the ACG, an experimental research studio, in 1996. In the short time since its existence, individual experimental work in the ACG has received umerous awards and acclaim for a uniqueness in both concept and craft. A major component of the ACG’s efforts involves outreach to the design and art community in the form of workshop and events that introduce the underlying concepts of computing technology, as exemplified in the ongoing design by number’s project. Find his new exhibition at the Fondation Cartier for the Contemporary Art, France.
