consciousness through typography

koopdoggedawg

I thought it would be interesting to typographically represent ’consciousness’.

Whether it be human consciousness, a baudrillard simulation style consciousness, or perhaps an abstract artists viewpoint. It is such a vast an interesting subject Can anyone think of any interesting ideas for typographically representing this? Or any links to any similar concepts?

type itself in any coherent form is a representation of consciousness.

other than that, i suggest a transparent overlay of every style of “0” (zero) ever designed.

Ernst Pöppel has investigated the idea of the “temporal platform” of consciousness as having a two to three second duration. (Mindworks—Time and Conscious Experience)

He has compared this with the length of phrases in speech, and lines of verse.

I would take it a step further, and argue that there is a “three-second” quality to the typographic page.

thanks guys.

I have been asked to represent consciousness typographically, as a series of different experimental works. I could really do with some more ideas!!!

“other than that, i suggest a transparent overlay of every style of “0” (zero) ever designed.” Why zeros?

thanks
