project brief: show “emergence” through type
fall08
One word or idea leading to others,
new information and connections,
layers,
creating new relationships,
development.
These are the words and phrases that come into mind when trying understand “emergence”.
12/23 is a project exploring what can emerge from this particular day.
I was curious to find what could emerge from the day that I was born.
To gather this result, I set up a controlled system where the number combination of 12/23 would allow for something to emerge. Using 12, 23, and 8(which is the sum of 1, 2, 2, and 3) I assigned each number a different color in order to highlight every 12th, 23rd and 8th word and line in the paragraph. I chose silk-screening as the media, which allowed for the overlaps of these colors to make new relationships.
