Poyner describes in his article how designers have an inferiority complex when it comes to artists and art. This is due to the influence of wealth and fame artists receive that designers hope to gain. Many think that design does not stand on equal ground with art, but through the years design is not part of the world and can be seen everywhere. Poyner also writes about the different views of artists, they are free to pursue their goals however they like. Designers go about their work mechanically using digital tools similar to those used by artists. Poyner describes how some art is not art but furniture. These pieces are too similar to things in which people use to decorate their houses and their is no distinction between them. Many different artists/designers Poyner interviewed have come to understand the difference in forms that they have created art with. They know that without art there is no design and vise versa. Art and design stand on equal grounds, even though some might believe that design is the new art of the twentieth century. People may never see the original art form perfected over the hundreds of years but they see art everywhere due to design. Designers and their works will always be around people even if they do not know it.
- Art and design are equal in term of being "art"
- Design is the new form of art in the twentieth century.
- Design is a means of personal and cultural expression in which artists/designers can show the world.
But, is it Art? by Kees Dorst
Kees writes about how goals formed by a designer is partly formed by others. Unlike artists who have their own goals and ideals designers are influenced by others. He also writes how these goals set by artists determine whether or not the artist can become successful. Even though artist and designers are different they can also be similar in the way they think. To become successful in each category one must think like the other. The goals of artists and designers can be limitless, but that also depends on the person.
- Artists thinks like designers while designers also think like artists.
- Projects can have unlimited potential in the way they go about it.
- Different things influence the thought process of artists and designers.
Discussion by M/M
In the discussion with Mathias he describes what it is to be a specialist in each field is like. After mastering one field can an artist/designer move onto the next field. He then describes how artists have become detached from the world and live in a space of their own. This can be very true at times, artists have a unique way of thinking that others may not be able to comprehend making them seem detached from society. The article also talks about how artists and designers treat one another. In some instances there is a lack of respect for designers while at other times it is vise versa. Most of the people interviewed do not discriminate between art and design.
- Similar views between the interviewees about art and design. No negative thoughts about the difference in design and art.
- Many of them believe in equality and quality between art and design.
