How art, technology and design inform creative leaders

John Maeda TED Talk

- He has been dealing with computers for a long time
-Went to MIT, and he did a human computer placing people for every task the computer does to narrow it down
-How to combine technology, art and math?
-Images, sounds and text have been appearing with the years
-He uses an example of taking the word FEAR and changes the font of the word and describe how the meaning changes since one relates the word with the art of the typography. This is a way context combines with form to create the meaning of the actual word.
-He questioned why computers did not respond to sound, he played for many years with types of fonts and making experiments of how a computer can respond to his voice by moving a black square every time he speaks.
-Art is about asking questions
-New media is not about something being new, is about what is good and working for todays society
-Leadership is needed since it is now a network where everyone communicates with everyone. Leaders see un probable connections and make them possible.
-Now businesses have a CEO in the center and as a leader he has to find connections between different departments
