Presentation Abstract
The purpose of this project was to investigate the validity of Marshall McLuhan's signature phrase, 'the medium is the message.' In the exploration of film, new media, and culture, the importance of the means by which a message is communicated is considered just as salient as the message itself. This collection of treated pages was inspired by Tom Phillip's work in A Humument. Phillips utilized the existing structure in the original novel, A Human Document by W. H. Mallock, and transform it into an artists' book. Similarly, I altered a few pages from The Woman In White by Wilkie Collins. The intent was to create a symbiotic relationship between the individual pages and the collection as a whole.
