Design By Numbers

By John Maeda

Book Overview

This text shows how to use the computer as an artistic medium in its own right. The author introduces a programming language and development environment, available on the Web, which can be downloaded or run directly within any JAVA-enabled Web browser. The language, called DBN, has very few commands and consists of elements resembling those of other languages, such as LISP, LOGO, C/JAVA and BASIC. The first half of the book places minimal emphasis on mathematics. The second half uses intermediate mathematical concepts that generally do not go beyond high-school algebra.
