Project 1 Phase 2

Material Memes
This phase includes material developments of the brands chosen before. Brands primarily focused on include Goodreads and R/GA.
For Goodreads, I chose to focus on texts, translating an online community about books to the physical books/structure of the texts themselves. I explored the properties and elements of the text, including words, spacing, how to read (how it was intended to be read, how the reader actually reads it), context, content, etc. Themes on interpretation, intention, and palimpsest were also explored. The main author I focused on was John Cage and his eccentric ways of formatting his writing.

Properties I explored on included transparency and layers, where I broke apart poems and separated them, or tried to translate them into formal compositions with shapes, and more.

For R/GA, I thought about connections - how that is their main primary operation of working. I then thought of weaves and knits, where it's a bunch of individual strands that come together (connect) to create a strong bond, or increase in area and expand. Connecting to expand.
I explored different weaving patterns and their varying strengths/amount of string/space taken. I also cut sections to see the different relationships between the interlocking yarn.

I also then explored a cone shape, to study how patterns can change over distance (wider, smaller, taller, looser, etc.).

Reading can be perceived similarly as weaving: when you read, you usually go through a sequence, whether how your eye travels, how the story is developed, how it is narrated, how it is laid out, how you have to read back and forth and try to piece ("weave") everything together, so I tried to track down the reading paths ("structure") of the texts and translate it out into weaves. I had different weaving styles for each 'element' of reading, and made a composition based on the structure of the text.
