Text As the Optimal Medium for Transfer

A block of words may look similarly to another on a surface-level basis. I’m intrigued by how a body of text can store such a high degree of structure, information, and beauty. Where writing prevails is where other mediums fail: access to creation. TV and digital media require costly internet connections and production equipment. Audio recordings require knowledge of pre and post production processes. Design, graphic or tangible requires knowledge of a craft, whether it be photoshop or sculpture. Text enables individuals to deliver the greatest amount of information at the lowest cost.
