The title of my book is Best guess for the content of this book: nine cats in my lens and their nine lives according to Google Image search. It’s a paperback that’s 11 cm wide and 18 cm high. It consists of my own photographs of cats and visually similar images from Google. Making this book allows me to see how my own works relate and interact with the works of the world, how similar and different they are from each other. The post-digital experience of this book is reversed image search, where you upload a image and Google tells you what it probably is and shows you visually similar images. A lot of my design practice focus on the relationship between image and text, curating them in an aesthetically pleasing way and drawing inspiration from culture. Photography is also something I enjoy a lot. This project gave me a chance to showcase my own photos and curate (mostly) images in a certain hierarchy, also working with balancing positive and negative space. I have changed the theme or format of this project many times along the way, but all of them were based on the relationship of image and text in their own way, thus making this project something I enjoyed despite the uncertainty. Two artists that I admire are Barbara Kruger and Jon Rafman. Kruger’s works all draw inspiration from culture, and they focus heavily on the relationship between image and text. Her resources are mostly not her own but the way she combines them makes them uniquely hers. Rafman, or more specifically his blog 9 Eyes is a large curation of findings on the internet, it doesn’t need much else, the images deliver his point perfectly. Both artists are curators in a way and their works are simple yet powerful, which is something I strive to achieve in my own practice. I guess the keyword of my book may include piratical, self, accumulation and found-object. The process of making it is very simple. I gather all my cat photos, choose the best nine, upload them to Google Image and see what it comes back with. Photos, the Internet and InDesign was all I needed. The previous themes included novels/stories, poetry, lyrics and other photographs of mine and basically they were all based on the same three elements: the Internet, my input, and InDesign. The simplicity of this project is quite unusual to how I usually design things, and it was scary in a way. However, one needs all kinds of practices to enrich their experiences with design and this served that purpose well. Hopefully people can flip through it and have a laugh, and even start to think about this strange phenomenon of how everybody’s works can interact nowadays through the internet, without people even knowing it. This has been a fun experience for me, and who knows, I might make sequels to it with themes other than cats in the future.
