IN PURSUIT OF ELEGANCE? What made the Sopranos finale one of the most-talked-about events in television history? Why is sudoku so addictive and the iPhone so irresistible? What do Jackson Pollock and Lance Armstrong have in common with theoretical physicists and Buddhist monks?
This month IxDA Brisbane is teaming up with UX Book Club Brisbane ( http://uxbookclub.org/doku.php?id=brisbane) to host a friendly and no doubt lively discussion around E. May's book, In Pursuit of Elegance: Why the Best Ideas Have Something Missing. The book is a "thought-provoking exploration of why certain events, products, and people capture our attention and imaginations" and "offers surprising evidence that what’s 'not there' often trumps what is." BOOK: Book: In Pursuit of Elegance: Why the Best Ideas Have Something Missing by E. May, which is available from a number of sources, including audiobook. See UX Book Club Brisbane for more details: http://uxbookclub.org/doku.php?id=brisbane. VENUE: To be determined. Due to the smaller group numbers, we're considering holding the book club in a private apartment, so we'll need solid RSVPs (from people who are sure they'll attend and be involved) by October 14. See below. DATE: Tuesday, 27th October, 2009 TIME: 6:00 for a 6:30 start. RSVP by: 14th October, 2009 RSVP to: a...@produxi.com See you there! ________________________________________________________________ Welcome to the Interaction Design Association (IxDA)!
