Visualising Censorship

Graduation Project/Chinese Typography/Video/Publication

Visualising Censorship is inspired by the steganography of obscuring letterforms practiced by online users to evade censorship. While referencing this effective strategy of using illegibility, my project views the act of hiding letterforms as a creative tool that plays around the active space where letterforms operate in our mind, offering new visual opportunities. Through an experimental approach, the outcomes seek to explore the potential of poor legibility, not only as potentially productive but also as inherently creative. [Link to Catalogue]
