6. Monsterlijke Samenstellingen
BA Graduation Project - Type Design - Speculative Design - Writing System - Graphic Design - Social Design
Within the Dutch language, it seems that correctness is still valued over understandable fluidity. But when hearing and seeing this medley of characters, sounds, and their duplicates, one question arises:
What happens to the language when we further entangle these monstrous outcomes of the spelling system through the practice of simplification?
Perhaps this intentional degradation of written language will position it closer to its spoken counterpart.
In ‘Monstrous Compositions’, I challenge the idea of a pure, correct form of language. Through simplification and physical entanglement of shape grounded in sound, I am questioning current linguistic systems with the underlying contemplation of how that written form will look in the future.
