Julier (2006): From Visual Culture to Design Culture

Not too much to draw from this secondary reading from the EDC10 course. Perhaps a few useful points to confirm ideas in other articles.

Citing Scott Lash:

"Culture is now three-dimensional, as much tactile as visual, all around us and inhabited, live in rather than encountered in a separate realm as a representation."

and:

"Culture is no longer one of pure representation or narrative, where visual culture conveys messages. Instead, culture formulates, formats, channels, circulates, contains and retrieves information."

"Furthermore, virtual reality becomes an, albeit extreme, metaphor for change in the rules of engagement between subject and object. 

and:

"The promise not so much convergent media, but rather, simultaneous and concurrent experiential moments."

"One is that design culture requires its observers to move beyond visual and material attributes to consider the multivarious and multilocational networks of its creation and manifestation."
