Synopsis

Posters and books are linked to defined spaces : paper sizes, the reading place. Interactive design can involve distant people and ideas. We can collect print materials, not really YouTube videos, websites, tweets...
The cube's — a clearly defined space — perception is altered by LEDs used to create letters. The three dimensional structure becomes a two dimensions reading space.

Commissioned by
