Less and More: Dieter Rams exhibit project at the Design Museum by Bibliothèque.
A retrospective exhibition dedicated to Dieter Rams, one of the 20th century’s most influential industrial designers. As head of design at Braun, the German consumer electronics manufacturer, Rams defined an elegant and rigorous visual language for its products.
The exhibition featured 244 objects, spanning six decades of his life and work.
_______
Father of the ‘Less is more’ principle – this exhibit / installation project is one that I wish I could have seen. He was a master at beautiful in simplicity that is timeless.
When you look at these today – you can’t miss being impressed by this creative giant who is making quite a comeback in the design circles in the past couple of years.

Tristan Perich’s 1-Bit Symphony is an electronic composition in five movements on a single microchip. Though housed in a CD jewel case like his first circuit album (1-Bit Music 2004-05).
Watch the video.
_______
1-Bit Symphony is not a recording in the traditional sense; it literally "performs" its music live when turned on. A complete electronic circuit—programmed by the artist and assembled by hand—plays the music through a headphone jack mounted into the case itself.
The album is available from Cantaloupe Music.
