Artists cannot design interfaces.

[Ben Kenobi]

That, DanS is a problem with philosophy.

Postmodernism produces crap architecture.

You want to see beautiful architecture, you have to look backwards. The concept that Architecture is a branch of engineering is really limiting. You make square boxes that are functional and not much else.

[FrostyBoy]

What can I say? Architects nowadays think it's a swell idea to build ugly CCTV Buildings rather than beautiful Chrysler Buildings. I'm sure the Chrysler building has more functional space too. The CCTV Building is wholly impractical.

The Chrysler building has a nice top, probably designed by an artist.

Asher, let's conclude:

Let's use the architect example.

If the architect were a stronger artist than scientist, his building would turn out something like the China Central Television Headquarters Building & Cultural Centre.

If the architect were a stronger scientist than artist, his building would turn out something like the Sears Tower.


The architect is a designer, a designer is someone who should have strengths in both trades (art and science; something you don't have mind you). My opinion, is that it is better if the designer has stronger artistic abilities if he is designing something that humans must interface with. That's my argument.

**** right off and address my posts. I did you the courtesy of typing a lengthy, topical response several times in a row and all you've done is ignore them.

Be a man and address them for once. We're talking HCI, don't let Ben's ****ing stupidity get this into a topic of architecture.

You interject with ****ing bull**** on a never-ending basis. You lie, slander, and are in general completely incompetent at every facet of life. You know I can't stand you. Get out of this thread, immediately. You contribute nothing.


CASE AND POINT.

You say they get "BA" as if it's a "Bachelor of the Arts". You get a "BACHELOR'S OF ARCHITECTURE" from the UofT, NOT an arts degree you ****ing lying scumbag. The UofT's school is NOT in the faculty of the arts because it is its own faculty, meaning you were of course WRONG when you said it was part of the arts faculty you disingenuous tool.

Get the **** out. Seriously.

Mods?

Why don't you just put him on ignore? Seriously.

Or is there something deeper going on here?

Asher and Ben up the tree, K I S S I N G, first comes anal sex, then comes pain, then comes Ming with his cane.

Artist +10
Scientist +5

Thanks for all the effort but I don't really care for reading it all over again.

Could you just put it into one little sentence for me what you would like me to address?

Not from where i'm sitting...

Sure. Artists are too stupid to comprehend simple forum posts, let alone designing functional UIs.

[Asher]

Your lack of accurate perception of reality is just another reason why you cannot be expected to design a nice interface.

[FrostyBoy]

Sure. Artists are too stupid to comprehend simple forum posts, let alone designing functional UIs.

Whatever, where is the question you need addressed?

[Asher]

Your concession of defeat is duly noted.

[FrostyBoy]

?

Whatever man.

Artists deal with human interaction, scientists only barely. Is this not clear to you?

[DanS]

Ridiculousness, even with the edit.
