AIGA Eye on Design
Designer Kim Albrecht explores what happens when you ask a computer an unsolvable question. Computers think differently than humans, if you can call it “thinking” at all. Computers process, and they do so in binary form: yes or no, on or off, this or that. We don’t see the behind-the-scenes machinations of the machine. The interfaces we do see on a daily basis obscure the actual computation, and for good reason. Apps, websites, and digital products would be unusable without some kind of abstracted gloss and simplification.
