At the same time this book also paints a picture of the many other sides to Jens Nielsen, co-founder of the Danish Design Council, one of the creative forces behind the design of the DSB, (Danish State Railways), and the IC3 train. He is an an inspiring leader for the technicians, craftsmen, and artists who developed these projects. Through his work, Jens Nielsen linked management, quality, and design. He debated and inspired. He collected and coordinated. He secured unity and harmony. He made things happen.

Software art is a practice that rewards software as a cultural phenomenon that defines one of the principal domains of our existence today. Thus, software is not regarded as an invisible layer, but rather as a decisive level and a language working at reproduction of certain orders, whether aesthetic, cultural, social or political. Software art creatively questions and redefines software and its ways of functioning, thus, influencing on composition and functioning of the basic infrastructures of digital society. In that way, software cultures become inseparable from digital work, social institutions and cultural manifestations of today.

The various component acts of design are performed along a continuum, which, es it happens, is the name of the organization featured in this opening exhibition. With offices in Boston, San Francisco, and Milan. Continuum draws its success from their unique interdisciplinary design process. As their name suggests, they carry out as many stages of design as possible, from inception through research and development, engineering, industrial and graphic design and packaging. In approaching any problem, the first thing Continuum does is to “step back” to provide perspective and eliminate any possibility of preconceptions or bias. Their unique approach is beautifully represented in this catalog with colorful thought-provoking images of their products accompanied by insightful essays on their design philosophy.
