Vital Media: Making, Design, and Expression for Humans and Other Materials Nitsche Michael
A proposal for a new media design to balance the contributions of humans and materials in the world they share.How can media design support a balance between our needs for self-expression and the material needs of the world we are part of? In Vital Media, Michael Nitsche argues that the current human-centric view is not sustainable and that media are best viewed as dynamic networks where cognitive and noncognitive participants co-create. What criteria define a sustainable media ecology?
We must recognize that the living body and its What we need, according to Nitsche, is a media design that balances the needs of all partners involved: vital media.Tracing this ideal through two domains of expression and making, performance and craft, Nitsche calls on us to embrace material co-existence and to design for self-expression as well as material evolution.
