Are we human? : notes on an archaeology of design
Beatriz Colomina (Author), Mark Wigley (Author), Istanbul Tasarım Bienali
"The question "are we human?" is both urgent and ancient. Beatriz Colomina and Mark Wigley offer a multi-layered exploration of the intimate relationship between human and design. Their field notes offer an archaeology of the way design has gone viral and is now bigger than the world. They range across the last few hundred thousand years and the last few seconds to scrutinize the uniquely plastic relation between brain and artifact. A vivid portrait emerges. Design becomes the way humans ask questions and thereby continuously redesign themselves"-- Page 4 of cover
