Linked by Air is the graphic design partnership of Tamara Maletic and Dan Michaelson. Our approach is practical, hands-on and collaborative. We are experienced in several media, including print, online, and installations in the environment. We specialize in the design and production of public space both physical and online. We often do programming in-house so that design and technology are intertwined inventive processes.

Talk

Next Wednesday June 11 at the Apple Store in Soho, we’ll give a talk about our practice, what we’re up to and where we want to go next as part of the AIGA’s “Design Remixed” series. Come join us! Challenge: Ask us a good question at the end.

Update: It was fun to talk to you! Thanks to everyone who came. By the way here are the questions you asked, as I recall:

  • How do we collaborate, with one another, with other designers and programmers, and with clients.
  • How to learn to program, and what is the importance of technology.
  • Why does Making Policy Public change color every day, and why eight palettes not seven.
  • What are some of our influences: people, things, etc.
  • What is the role of arbitrariness in our work.

Later Tom asked, if design depends on its users or some other external forces for completion, is this a permanent condition or a passing fad? And if such a condition persists, is there any longer a place for a fixed “great work” of design?
