- Book Complexity. Manifesto project
The project's brief was to create a personal manifesto connecting our past with the present and the future.
The most stable thing for me all this years is my bookshelf. So I decided to visualize some informations from my past through the books that I have bought, found and received as gifts all those years.
"For anyone with even a moderate interest in books, snooping at other people’s bookshelves is one of life’s great pleasures. Like music collections, personal libraries offer tantalising encapsulations of character; a quick glance at an acquaintance’s bookshelves or a scroll through their iTunes provides juicy fodder for all sorts of assumptions and judgements.."Hermione Buckland. "The rise of virtual bookshelf"
The project does not belong in the category of Infographics, probably I can describe it as just a visual representation of myself.
Ferninad de Saussure says in his book Course in General Linguistics:
"the meanings of signs does not reside in the signs themselves. There is no natural bond between the signifier and the signified. Instead the meaning of a sign comes only from its relationship to other signs in the system." ... "a sign has no inherent meaning - apart from the system or structure that frames it"
