This series of works arose from an idea and curiosity about the excitement one feels while traveling to a different country, a province, or even a new location. It tends to be difficult to pinpoint the precise reason for the pleasure or exhilarating feeling that people have when they visit different places. It’s presumably how all these new experiences we have all at once combine into a certain “mood” or “vibe.” There are times when one doesn’t even question whether such excitement stems from experiencing something truly new or whether it’s their own perception that makes something feel new despite the fact that it may not be. 

If we are able to observe things from such a mentality or perspective, perhaps the things or locations that impress us do not have to be iconic or anything suggested or validated by others. It could be anyplace. It might be a location we walk past every morning or a building we see on the side of the road while stuck in traffic. 

This work is an imagination of a person’s first impressions of Thailand. If we can see these sites from this point of view, then the question is, what is it that actually excites us?

The project ‘The Alphabetical Room’ is a systematic exploration of the boundaries and limits of writing within a strictly calculated mathematical three-dimensional grid within a flat digital space. Engaging with the three-dimensional grid in a two-dimensional digital space has always been an intriguing matter for graphic designers, programmers, creative coders, and visual artists.

 

Starting from Josef-Müller Brockmann’s grid proposal for the design of interior spaces in 1961, the perspective of the viewer changes throughout the pages of the leaflet as does the resolution of the three-dimensional grids in which the hypothetical letterforms are displayed. 

Also, I would like to thank Prof. Pierre Pané-Farré for guiding this project.
