- 8. 8 Aesthetic Appreciation • The aesthetic judgment of an artifact is typically interpreted as an evaluation of the artifact’s sensory properties. • Aesthetic appreciation of an artifact can be influenced by knowledge of the artifact’s purpose.
- 9. 9 Two different ways to appreciate an artifact • Their effect/ functionality • The way they achieve their effect / functionality “beauty does not necessarily lie in the best looking, but in the best acting”— Michael Faraday (1861)
- 10. 10 MEMM principle: maximum effect for minimum means • “Economy”, “efficiency”, “Occam’s razor” in product design • MEMM governs people’s aesthetic appreciation of a wide range of things, including: – Line drawing, literary metaphor, logical arguments, chess moves, architectural works, tennis serves, science experiments and mathematical demonstration • “The most” with “the least” vs. “less is more” • Means-effect relationship
- 11. 11 Beauty in coding The Obfuscated C Code
- 12. 12 Basics of the MEMM judgment • The Beauty in Conciseness: Minimalism • MEMM: the aesthetic judgment of a product is a judgment not of the product itself, but of the relationship between the product and the effect that it has. • If a certain effect is desired in the world, then a product can be designed as the means by which that effect is realized. • Designers exploit various resources to achieve the effects they want. • The perception of just one salient aspect as being minimal can suffice for a product to be judged minimal overall.
- 13. 13 Basic MEMM to Complexity “Proximal effect” and “distal effects” Maximal effect: more than one effect M-E and M-M-E
- 14. 14 Complex MEMM • “The aesthetic value of a knife consists not only of its visual qualities, but also of its feeling in my hand, determined by its surface texture, weight, and balance, • but most importantly by how smoothly and effortlessly I can cut an object because of the material, shape, length, texture, and weight of the blade and handle.” Saito, 2007, p. 27 Hekkert, P. (2017). PUUE lecture note. Pp. 6
