AAVV, Back Office #3: Writing The Screen, 2019

The third issue of ‘Back Office’ is devoted to various experiences of reading on screens. Over the course of the last decades, this change has introduced deep shifts, the effects of which are still being assessed. The proliferation of screens and the dawn of the internet paved the way for forms of expression that fall under the broad category of the “graphosphere”, presumably still dominated by the norms and figures of linear writing and paper. Could the task of the designer be to accompany, as smoothly as possible, this transition from one era of technology to the next? Or could it be, on the contrary, to postpone the passage from paper to screen?
