...but don’t make the mistake of confusing “design” with “art.” I’d argue that there’s a difference, and it matters. Designers create solutions – the products and services that propel us forward. But artists create questions — the deep probing of purpose and meaning that sometimes takes us backward and sideways to reveal which way “forward” actually is. The questions that artists make are often enigmatic, answering a why with another why.
---John Maeda on "If Design’s No Longer the Killer Differentiator, What Is?"
Is it design or is it art? I really enjoy the space between the two. Design that makes you think, reconsider your values, changes directions. Even though I personally agree with his line of inquiry, I don't think it holds true to all industrial designers out there...
But I think it's more about the principles of art..
