About
Experimental publication with a focus on Southern California Programmatic and Modernist Architecture. Chapters include chapters from the sci-fi novel Simulacron-3 and revised generated AI content.
Chapter Openers
I intentionally let the letters bleed off the edge, aiming to force the reader to interact with the physical form of the book. This adds a clash between the rigid editorial design and the glitchy computational texture the book owns.
ASCII generated content
The hacker-generated visual texture was created with the use of ASCII online generators. However, the images were selected after a visual research from the books California Crazy and Deco Landmarks: Art Deco Gems of Los Angeles.
