Kari Kraus Questions

1. Is design really infinite? Will there ever be a point at which the ‘reflective design’ process mentioned on page 76 becomes outdated, just like the technologies we discuss with it?

2. When it comes to the relationship between form and content, to what extent does one outrule the other throughout our modern day society?  Although form is often able to mask content, can this occur the other way around? Is it possible for content to become the cover rather than the inside of a book, or can they only mirror each other because design of certain technologies has become too ingrained in our current culture?

3. On page 94, the process of taking apart and then reassembling a work is discussed. Have order and chronology lost importance in the information era, especially in art forms such as literature and cinema? What system of mapping human society and culture has replaced the linear code we’ve always been more adapted to using?
