Based on last week’s feedback and questions, I think I’d prefer to use a publication to show how information can be hidden.
In this project. My purpose in the first part is to call on readers to question the truth of known news and search for the truth. In this part, I would like to call on independent media to maintain the authenticity of news releases. So my question is, if I want to publish this as an independent media outlet, what are the ways I can evade censorship in publications ? If I want to publish news as an independent media outlet, how can I hide information in a publication to avoid censorship?
The publication is presented in a sealed format, creating an irreversible reading experience in which the reader must destroy its cover while reading. This format explores how, as an independent media outlet publishing news, information can be hidden in a publication to avoid censorship.
This publication focuses on exploring how news information and the free speech of those involved in the news can be hidden in the physical form of the publication through typography and publication.
The binding uses a French fold to hide the information inside, and reading requires the folds of each page to be cut open or guided read by a cut line. For example, information is hidden in spine slits, in the fold marks on each French fold page, or by covering text with a silver coating. The information is only visible if the inside pages are cut or the coating is scratched away.
The information is hidden in the gaps of the fold and needs to be cut out to be read
In addition, through my printing experiments I have found that it is more difficult for the eye to distinguish the nuances of colour in the same colour environment. Therefore printing the same colour on the same colour paper is more conducive to hiding information.
This project seeks to escape censorship by physically hiding information in publications, creating a reading barrier that makes the information more difficult to access.
