this blog is a book that you need headphones to hear. or rather, this blog is what will not fit into a book. the book "cellular rhythms" is the record of one semester's worth of work and research at harvard's graduate school of design. this blog does not stand alone: without the book it is only a fragment and its full explanation is obscured.
what does fit into a book: images, text, diagrams, photographs, anything that is static
what does not fit into a book: sound, video, anything that requires continuous time to be understood
the printed book is slow, high-fi, careful, static.
the digital book is quick, low-fi, may disappear at a whim.
enjoy your digital book. most likely it will be gone tomorrow.
and turn up your base. this is a book you can dance to. or do whatever it is that you happen to do with music in the background.
