Industrial Literature Design

Industrial Literature Design – Non-Thesis Master’s Program

As everything seems to accelerate;
Will what we know,
What we seek to preserve,
Continue to exist?

Should writing remain
Merely a personal passion?
Or should artificial intelligence,
Setting off enthusiastically ahead of us,
Take the lead?

Or can we, together—
Through new designs—
Re-aestheticize
The growing anxiety surrounding “writing”?

Should industry become
An uneasy anticipation
For “text”…

Media,
Tools,
Conditions,
Images,
Abstractions,
Organizations,
Transitions,
Enchantment,
Consumption,
Presentation,
Formalism,
A “touch” of texture,
New voices…
Forms,
States…
