More manifesto than monograph, Life Style is the first book to document Bruce Mau's creative process and his studio practice, Bruce Mau Design. Conceived and designed by the studio, the book is a singular album of playful and critical statements about the visual and cultural trends that influence today's image-driven context. This collection of Mau's essays, observations, anecdotes, and project documentation emobides his unique world view and his belief that form and content are inseparable. The book's organization echoes his conviction that design is more than an end in and of itself; it is "not separated or segregated from life but instead is integrated with other messy flows. It engages directly with the world.".

Contrary to Walter Benjamin's prediction, made in the 1930s, that mechanical reproduction would drain the work of art of its aura, the circulated image has not stolen the aura from the original; it has borrowed and reinvested it. Today, the works of the greatest value, both in monetary terms and in auratic density, are precisely those images most reproduced. It seems more and more apparent that the space simulated by virtual reality will never substitute for real space. To the contrary, the virtual now acts as an enormous and unwitting advertisement for the real. Because the reproduction can never hope to generate the dynamic range or bandwidth of the original, the desirability of the original merely grows as the quality of the reproduction improves.

Life Style, Bruce Mau
Play can only happen when people feel they have control over their lives. We can't be free agents if we're not free.
