Layered Perception
Yu Ju Chiang
This work explores the concept of infinity and the lack of spatial structure in digital reading, as discussed in Chapter 1 of Tactical Publishing. While digital content can expand infinitely, it is confined to a flat screen, lacking the ""landscape"" and reference points that physical books provide. To address this, I physically represented infinity through layered text and images, reflecting the way our eyes jump around while reading. Digital devices' features, like quick scrolling, allow readers to absorb vast amounts of information quickly, emphasizing the non-linear nature of reading. The layers in the work can be moved by the audience, representing how individuals interpret and focus on different details of the same content.
