Unit 6 8/11: Poetry II,1

After the warm-up we should choose between three other quotations, that deal with censorship:

• The first condition of progress is the removal of censorship. –George Bernard Shaw
• Without censorship, things can get terribly confused in the public mind. –William Westmoreland
• There are worse crimes than burning books. One of them is not reading them. –Joseph Brodsky

This time I worked with Marina, and we decided for the last one. We have some weeks time and two crits. For the first crit we showed four different ideas:

Matches
Thing to burn something is used for enlightening one's head.

Blowball
Ideas seen as seeds that are ready to blow into the world.

Frozen Book
No development because conserved, but also destroyed.

Typography

Battle in the content of the two sentences is transferred into a visual battle. Coding and encoding.
