AMONG: A series of Enactments

Client: Self-authored
Collaborators: JKDS
Status: Completed
Year: 2019
Tags: Environmental, Media, Platform
AMONG captures the practice of a constructionist designer, one who oscillates between the characteristics of typography, multi-materiality, and spatiality yet does not attach solely to the physical or digital. The fundamental principles of this practice include open platforms that foster generative collaboration through modular systems. AMONG straddles the borders of graphic design, environmental design and social sculpture. At its core, this practice encourages new ways of connecting communities.
