About the Project

During the second semester of Super Studio, we created a "text wall" that allowed families members to send text messages to a shared space within the home. Part of the motivation for texting this wall was the creation of a hard bound book that would be sent to the families containing these texts.

"Text Story" is the translation of theses text messages into a design object in the form of a book.

It is our intention, through the creation and sharing of this book with our families, to understand how information design influences perceptions of familial memory, personal identity and the dynamics that bind the two together. Moreover, as an alternative family portrait, we hope to explore the opportunity spaces created in the translation of a digital input to an analogue output (and in turn how this analogue output can further enhance a digital design).
