In
the
Conch

In The Burnout Society, the author Han Byung-chul points out that modern society is dominated by an efficiency-first ideology, where even communication is pressed on fast-forward. As people blindly pursue efficiency, the inevitable result is the depletion of emotions. 

Through image processing, I created a series of illustrations and conch models, using experimental books as a medium. By applying semiotics, I used the conch as a metaphor to illustrate how efficiency-driven society depletes human emotions.

This experimental book is made of light paper, the long scrolls constantly change shape with the wind, making it difficult to capture their contents, 
just as we struggle to capture the meanings and feelings in the multiples.




I selected 10 emotionally charged movie dialogue excerpts, extracted their sound waveforms, and applied speed modifications. 
Using the original and processed waveforms, I created corresponding conch models and 3D printed them.
