Get David Reinfurt's 'A *New* Program for Graphic Design' at the NYABF

Launching Saturday, September 21, from 5:30–7 PM in David Senior's Classroom Series at the NY Art Book Fair, David Reinfurt's A *New* Program for Graphic Design is *the* communication design textbook of and for the 21st century. Featured spread—from the chapter on interface—concerns the results of Reinfurt's 2017 research project recreating Bruno Munari's 1965 Tetracono device. "It was a manufactured object of steel and aluminum, but its purpose was to produce a constantly changing image," Reinfurt writes. "Its rhetorical design was in its script: how the cones turn, the sequence, the phrasing, its temporal dimension. Munari called it both a product for exploring programming and an object for understanding forms in the process of becoming. Both of these lessons seem equally, or maybe more, important now than they did in 1965." Copies of the book will be available at the Inventory Press booth and at the Artbook Bookstore Event Space.
