How design can improve the quality of our everyday lives by engaging the invisible electromagnetic environment in which we live. As our everyday social and cultural experiences are increasingly mediated by electronic products—from "intelligent" toasters to iPods—it is the design of these products that shapes our experience of the "electrosphere" in which we live. Designers of electronic products, writes Anthony Dunne in Hertzian Tales, must begin to think more broadly about the aesthetic role of electronic products in everyday life. Industrial design has the potential to enrich our daily lives—to improve the quality of our relationship to the artificial environment of technology, and even, argues Dunne, to be subverted for socially beneficial ends. The cultural speculations and conceptual design proposals in Hertzian Tales are not utopian visions or blueprints; instead, they embody a critique of present-day practices, "mixing criticism with optimism." Six essays explore design approaches for developing the aesthetic potential of electronic products outside a commercial context—considering such topics as the post-optimal object and the aesthetics of user-unfriendliness—and five proposals offer commentary in the form of objects, videos, and images. These include "Electroclimates," animations on an LCD screen that register changes in radio frequency; "When Objects Dream...," consumer products that "dream" in electromagnetic waves; "Thief of Affection," which steals radio signals from cardiac pacemakers; "Tuneable Cities," which uses the car as it drives through overlapping radio environments as an interface of hertzian and physical space; and the "Faraday Chair: Negative Radio," enclosed in a transparent but radio-opaque shield. Very little has changed in the world of design since Hertzian Tales was first published by the Royal College of Art in 1999, writes Dunne in his preface to this MIT Press edition: "Design is not engaging with the social, cultural, and ethical implications of the technologies it makes so sexy and consumable." His project and proposals challenge it to do so.

Spørgsmål og svar
Er varen ny?
Orderly sælger gode varer fra folk, som ikke selv har tid, lyst eller mulighed for at gøre det. Vores varer er derfor typisk brugte og dermed billigere end nyt. Og så er de bedre for miljøet.
Hvorfor købe brugte bøger på Orderly?
Du får den højeste sikkerhed i handelen. Vi har alle varer på lager, så risikoen for falske annoncer er nul. Vi giver dig også 14 dages fortrydelsesret og dermed markedets bedste sikkerhed ved køb af brugte varer.
Er billederne af den faktiske vare?
Ja. Alle billeder på produktsiden viser den konkrete vare vi har til salg. Ikke et generisk produktfoto. Du kan derfor zoome ind på billederne og se eventuelle brugsspor før køb.
Hvordan vurderer I standen?
Vi vurderer varen ud fra synligt slid og det samlede indtryk. Vi tester ikke elektronik eller tæller brikkerne i et puslespil inden salg. Vi formidler salget mellem køber og sælger. Men er der problemer med en vare, finder vi altid en løsning - med eller uden sælger.
Jeg glemte en ting. Kan jeg tilføje til min ordre?
Ja, det kan du sagtens - helt indtil vi starter pakningen af din ordre. Du laver bare en ny ordre og vælger den eksisterende ordre som levering (hvor du normalt vælger GLS eller afhentning). I sjældne tilfælde kan det dog forlænge leveringstiden med en dag.
