In the early days of digital media, Berkeley-based Aaron Marcus was influential in the developing fields of computer technology, spanning art, virtual reality, experimental visible languages, and information visualization. He is also known for his work in computer graphics, user interface/user-interaction design, information-oriented graphic design, and visible-language experiments.
Marcus will sign copies of his new memoir/monograph Bridging Art, Design, and Technology: My Lifetime Work, and discuss his innovative HCI/user-experience designs and solutions for brands like Apple, HP, Microsoft, Motorola, Oracle, Sabre, Samsung, SAP, US Federal Reserve Bank, Visa, and more. The book’s text and figures reveal a personal philosophy and history of art, design, computers, and technology across 70 years.
Marcus’s work is in the collections of Letterform Archive, the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, and the Victoria and Albert Museum, London, among others.
