The Medium is the Massage

The Medium is the Massage: An Inventory of Effects is an experimental book by Marshall McLuhan. It was first published in 1967 and soon become one of the worth reading book through the generations.

The task is to recreate this book with a personal perspective after reading it. Imperfection is the theme of the book recreation. It contains the vibe of negative emotions. The audiences will experience the negative emotions as they read along. This book also represents the inner fear and the imperfection of our lives.

This book is tactile and interactive. Overlapping two different typefaces is a representation of a human who has different kinds of emotions in one cell. Some of the pages were made with different papers, including kraft papers, vellums, and newsprints, to indicate different stages of emotions. The scratch and burn effects that appear throughout the book are the affection of anger and frustration.
