More quotes by John Maeda
Design provides solutions, art asks questions.
John Maeda
I like stuff designed by dead people. The old designers. They always got it right because they didn't have to grow up with computers. All of the people that made the spoon and the dishes and the vacuum cleaner didn't have microprocessors and stuff. You could do a good design back then.
John Maeda
Videogames are indeed design: They're sophisticated virtual machines that echo the mechanical systems inside cars.
John Maeda
When you're younger, think less and do more when you're older, do less and think more.
John Maeda
If you are going to have less things, they have to be great things.
John Maeda
There is a construct in computer programming called 'the infinite loop' which enables a computer to do what no other physical machine can do - to operate in perpetuity without tiring. In the same way it doesn't know exhaustion, it doesn't know when it's wrong and it can keep doing the wrong thing over and over without tiring.
John Maeda
Too little confidence, and you're unable to act too much confidence, and you're unable to hear.
John Maeda
If you have no fear, no one has power over you.
John Maeda
Things that I can do myself, I either do by myself, or teach a willing undergraduate who doesn't know how to do those things by doing it for me. Things that I can't do myself, my graduate students should be doing.
John Maeda
We seem to forget that innovation doesn't just come from equations or new kinds of chemicals, it comes from a human place. Innovation in the sciences is always linked in some way, either directly or indirectly, to a human experience.
John Maeda
Creativity's about ownership.
John Maeda
Technology makes possibilities. Design makes solutions. Art makes questions. Leadership makes actions.
John Maeda
With regard to what is designed really well, I think people are the best-designed objects in the world. Seriously.
John Maeda
Communication in every which way is everything for the leader.
John Maeda
How do we slow down what matters the most and speed up what benefits change and progress? We don't want to impede progress, but we are seeking reconnection to ourselves, to each other, and with the world.
John Maeda
One of the challenges to our nation today is overcoming the notion that art is kind of a nice-to-have, when in reality art is a need-to-have.
John Maeda
Design is a solution to a problem. Art is a question to a problem.
John Maeda
As a genre, videogames take our minds on journeys, and we can control and experience them much more interactively than passively - especially when they are well-designed.
John Maeda
The artist needs to understand the truth that lies at the bottom of an enigma.
John Maeda
Skill in the digital age is confused with mastery of digital tools, masking the importance of understanding materials and mastering the elements of form.
John Maeda
