15.Feb.2010 Jonathan Jarvis and The New Madiators
Interesting post about the work of Jonathan Jarvis.
“The New Mediators is a design practice that helps to clarify complicated situations. By designing graphic language systems that function across print, video, interactive and performance formats, it proposes a new role for designers and a new approach to transparency in an increasingly complex world.
New Mediators are practitioners who combine methods from design, journalism, and narrative analysis. The result is designed transparency — information that is not only made available, but accessible, relevant and beautiful.
This introductory animation attempts the method advocated by the New Mediators to explain the project itself.”
