Gerstners systemiska design och css

Läser i Ellen Luptons ”Thinking with type” (Amazon, Bokus, Adlibris);

”Karl Gerstner’s book Designing Programmes (1964) [Amazon, Bokus, Adlibris] is a manifesto for systems-oriented design. Gerstner defined a design ’programme’ as a set of rules for constructing a range of visual solutions. Connecting his methodology with the new field of computer programming, Gerstner presented examples of computer-generated patterns that were made by mathematically describing visual elements and combining them according to simple rules.”

Låter som hur vi kommit att hantera css efter oocss.

Data och information

Läst i The Economist, ”[’data’ and ’information’] are increasingly difficult to tell apart. Given enough raw data, today’s algorithms and powerful computers can reveal new insights that would previously have remained hidden.” Tidigare brukade det heta att data är rå och information är förädlad data (av människor får man anta).
