The eventual goal of my thesis in the long long term would be to be come up with kind of stuff (sort of, this is more sociological, but still interesting). Lucky I'll never go that far. But I do find it interesting. 'Cause I'm like that. (and that's the way it is)
Yeah, go "D iPod" and wired. Posted by luther at February 26, 2004 10:57 PM | TrackBackOne of the interesting things is that with vinyl, the aesthetic was in the cover of the record. You had the sleeve, the artwork, the liner notes. With the rise of digital, the aesthetic has left the object -- the record sleeve -- and now the aesthetic is in the artifact: the iPod, not the music. The aesthetic has moved from the disc to what you play it on ... and the iPod mini will appeal to those who want an artifact for style...
