affects
‘‘affects’’ featured a dizzying array of posters that question our expectations of paper through shape, texture, and format. The headlining, black and white poster appears to be disappearing into another dimension while a yellow and black poster appears to bend and distort as it covers a rectangular block. And yet other ripples as if a pebble were dropped into it.
“Data printed on paper is fixed on the page, existing unaffected by the environment, its form unchanged,” says the designer. “Printed material, which is normally unchanging, can be made to take on new appearances due to the effects of its environment.”
