um delicioso apanhado desde 1883. meus trechos favoritos:
manifesto futurista (itália, 1909)
"we intend to sing the love of danger, the habit of energy and fearlessness"
"except in struggle, there is no more beauty. no work without an aggressive character can be a masterpiece"
"why should we look back, when what we want is to break down the mysterious doors of the impossible? time and space died yesterday. we already live in the absolute, because we have created eternal, omnipresent speed"
manifesto da arquitetura futurista (itália, 1914)
"that futurist architecture is the architecture of calculation, of audacious temerity and of simplicity; the architecture of reinforced concrete, of steel, glass, cardboard, textile fiber, and of all those substitutes for wood, stone and brick that enable us to obtain maximum elasticity and lightness"
"that by the term architecture is meant the endeavor to harmonize the environment with man with freedom and great audacity, that is to transform the world of things into a direct projection of the world of the spirit"
manifesto bauhaus (alemanha, 1919)
"architects, painters, sculptors, we must all return to crafts! for there is no such thing as "professional art". there is no essential difference between the artist and the craftsman. the artist is an exalted craftsman"
topography of tipography (alemanha, 1923)
"the words on the printed surface are taken in by seeing, not by hearing (...) economy of expression: optics, not phonetics"
"the hygiene of the optical, the health of the visible is slowly filtering through"
good design manifesto (alemanha, 1987)
"good design is as little design as possible: back to purity, back to simplicity"
people´s communication charter (unesco, 1998)
"all people have a right to universal access to and equitable use of cyberspace. their rights to free and open communities in cyberspace, their freedom of electronic expression, and their freedom from electronic surveillance and intrusion, should be protected"
designers agains monoculture (eua, 2001)
"we refuse to create design that furthers the creation of a global corporate monoculture"
manifesto for agile software development (eua, 2001)
"individuals and interactions over processes and tools
working software over comprehensive documentation
customer collaboration over contract negotiation
responding to change over following a plan"
white night before a manifesto (eua, 2008)
"communicative (active) surface, or screen, is classified by its capacity to reveal and open up doorways to virtual worlds. in the absence of message, it maintains a system of placeholders and default images. mobile phones - which physically resemble minimalist jewellery - are inhabited by complex worlds appearing on the surface of their screens. in fact a phone is no longer a phone, as it performs the functions of an email tool, a web browser, an agenda, a calculator, an alarm clock, a video player, a camera and a game console. there is no principal difference between the 'phone-as-surface' with its inherent capacities to organize information and social relations, and the 'credit card-as-surface' with its capacity to order concierges and butlers"
"active surfaces are inhabited by worlds in worlds. this is a matter of calculus and inner complexity; mobile phones have surpassed the threshold between a dedicated machine (designed to perform a single task or series of tasks) and a machine which appropriates the functions and tasks previously assigned to other machines, resulting in the emptying out of the objects that were formerly machines (like the wristwatch). the system which inhabits the object with the most active surface - the more informational, complex, all-inclusive one - has surpassed a degree of complexity, so that the tasks it performs can no longer be related to its size, its form or its weight"
manifesto of the future of attention (eua, 2009)
"in 1971, the oft-quoted political scientist herbert simon predicted that in an information age, cultural producers (that's designers, but also filmmakers, theater types, musicians, artists) would quickly face a shortage of attention. 'what information consumes is rather obvious: it consumes the attention of its recipients,' he wrote. the more information, the less attention, and 'the need to allocate that attention efficiently among the overabundance of information sources that might consume it.' (...) making something 'free' is obviously an allocation strategy. 'free' attracts attention. making things brief is an allocation strategy as well. the problem is that free isn't sustainable, and that brief is underpriced."
