Scri Mar 1, 06:19 AM
Graphical, interactive text manipulation based on guided randomization. Freud’s “Dream Psychology” is the source text.
Scri is meant to disrupt the relationships between the visual, temporal, and significant dimensions of text perception. The project is an exploration of a hypothetical reading practice that breaks logical linearity and calls the signifying function of the word into question by foregrounding its visual characteristics and dislocating it in reference to its prescribed sequence. This presentation sets the stage for conjoined lingual and visual associations with the letter/word form through fracture, imposition, and interruption.
