Che's Green Notebook —Copy of poems by four Latin American poets

是什么塑造了拉丁美洲魔幻现实的世界，寻访马孔多从地方知识到科学知识；从原始作物到经济作物；从原始岩画到科学图解三个宏大的视角来探讨拉美的魔幻与现实，这让我开始思考拉美的苦难的背后是什么？在结构性困境的背景下个人的能动性又在哪里？

于是我们把目光聚焦在了这一时期最具魔幻色彩的人物——切·格瓦拉。当我们拿起这本书，感受到这本书厚重的历史感，映入眼帘的是一张遗产清单——两本日记、一张彩色铅笔绘制的地图、十二卷胶卷、还有一本绿色笔记本……这是1967年切·格瓦拉被枪杀时的遗物。

绿色笔记本抄录着拉美四位诗人的诗歌，而正是这本毫无军事价值的诗歌陪伴着切·格瓦拉走过人生中最后的旅程。

本书把四件遗物都设计进了这本书中，书籍页面中穿插着档案的元素，正是为了抽象的还原出这样一个“历史现场”，当我们面对切·格瓦拉这样一个已经被符号化的人物时能够真正的面对他的精神世界。

What Shapes the World of Latin America's Magic Reality, Searching for Macondo explores the magic and reality of Latin America from three grand perspectives: from local to scientific knowledge; from primitive to cash crops; and from primitive petroglyphs to scientific illustrations, which made me begin to think about what lies behind Latin America's suffering? And where is the individual's agency in the context of structural dilemmas?

So we focused on the most magical figure of the period, Che Guevara. When we pick up the book and feel the heavy sense of history in this book, what comes to our eyes is an inventory of the legacy - two diaries, a map drawn in colored pencil, twelve rolls of film, and a green notebook ...... which was Che Guevara's was shot in 1967.

The green notebook was a transcription of poems by four Latin American poets, and it was this poetry, which had no military value, that accompanied Che Guevara on the last journey of his life.

The four relics are designed into this book, and the pages of the book are interspersed with archival elements, in order to abstractly restore this "historical scene", so that we can truly face the spiritual world of Che Guevara when we are confronted with such a symbolized figure.

Media · Technology｜Personal Computers & Counterculture - Seeking the 1960s

Media · Technology｜Personal Computers & Counterculture - Seeking the 1960s follows on from the explorations of IWV2023. It extends around the counterculture to the communal movement, cybernetics, the birth of the personal computer, and the evolution of the Internet and the intelligent connection of all things. Taking the Global Overview as a starting point, it extends to cybernetics, the control of people, the control of society, the control of machines. The technological object is a product of cultural politics; technology does not develop on its own, it always emerges from a struggle with the intercalibration of individual and collective politics. Counter-mainstream culture is active, bohemian, jubilant in its sedation, like the development of computers, which, in the post-war 1960s, birthed new life out of desolation.

In this work, the control and calm of the computer is retained, while the vibrancy of the counterculture is interspersed, using interspersed links to quotes and comments by Stewart Brand, Buckminster Fuller, Fred Turner and others to form a kind of dialog between the present day and the 1960s.

Whole Earth——Whole Earth System、Whole Earth Catalog、Whole Earth Digitization、Whole Earth Networks

The series is based on the Inter-World-View sub-theme of media technologies and is divided into four volumes: "Whole Earth System", "Whole Earth Catalog", "Whole Earth Digitization" and "Whole Earth Networks".The four-volume series begins with an account of social upheaval in the United States in the 1960s, referencing the close relationship between the forgotten culture of Cold War studies and the counterculture of the neo-communists. The interior text follows Brand's lead, beginning with the art scene in the 1960s, then the New Commune movement in the Southwest, and finally the behind-the-scenes story of the computer revolution in the San Francisco Bay Area in the 1970s.

■Sci-Fi

There have been many explorations of sci-fi, from the earliest discussions of why justice is done by Plato in The Ideal State through the mouth of Socrates to the imagery of human evolution with the appearance of the Black Cube in 2001: A Space Odyssey, sci-fi has always existed as a prophet. To this day, when we look at sci-fi from hundreds of years ago, we see that those interesting reflections still have a huge impact on every aspect of the world we live in.

However, nowadays, our thinking about science fiction is becoming more and more fixed, and we lack new imagination and the possibility of producing new things in science fiction. It seems that people do not have better imagination about the future, and the function of science fiction to lead the development of the human world has become weaker.

I have made a collection of lines and quotes from famous sci-fi works (most of them are science fiction novels and movies) that carry the values of the works and are prescient and revelatory. It is also a kind of summary of existing science fiction themes and science fiction imagery. With these informational montages and operatic editorial assemblages of books, it attempts to inspire people to think about what is possible for the future of science fiction? Can we still make groundbreaking works of science fiction like Mary Shelley's Frankenstein? Are we going to construct a new world utopia? Does sci-fi thinking really make our world a better place? Can we create a new chapter in the world by stepping outside of such pre-existing sci-fi imagery as robots, parallel time, black holes, star trekking, new life ...... and so on when confronted with sci-fi again?

Time · Life

Thinking about problems at a deep time scale is not about avoiding the troubled present, but about reimagining it and using the slow and ancient story of creation and annihilation to resist the rapidly moving greed and turmoil of today. By embarking on a journey downwards, we aim to reveal the significance of the burial of life and its vertical imagination, in an attempt to find a language of hope in the Anthropocene.

Mnemosyne  Atlas

The work is undertaken from the grid layout of the book mapped: "ideaアイデア" magazine issue 370, the overall layout logic in accordance with the order of the Goddess of Memory atlas panels of the picture arrangement, and at the end of each atlas placed with its description of the article, for the sake of immersion in reading, the book as a whole, no page numbering, more fluent reading, more able to be immersed in the atlas.

As a "science of culture" (or "science without a name"), Warburg's Atlas has never given up diagnosing and responding to crises: it reveals the schizophrenic symptoms of European civilisation on several levels, including art history and anthropology (evolutionary psychology), and turns radically to the real history of the present. schizophrenic symptoms, and with a radical turn to the real history of the present, the Atlas responds simultaneously to the crisis of the age of Warburg and the crisis of the present day, or rather, there is no essential difference between these two crises. A century later, not only are we not far from those black panels, but we are even closer to them.

Literary and artistic country

In Europe, politics and art, war and pain, turbulent debates and personal fate are intertwined; In Asia, suffering has already become the most instinctive experience for artists. In 1938, Wuhan, as a transportation hub, saw tens of millions of refugees passing through it, whether by train, boat, or walking. During this great migration, young students and artists resolved their despair through singing and an exhibition hall in a city. The voice of the times is intertwined with the whispers of the unknown.

The history of literature and art often represents the history of civilization, but this does not mean the consistency between literature and civilization in terms of the creative subject. The degree of fit between the two is itself a reflection of civilization. This book runs through the relocation of the location of the Anti Japanese War in 1938, and the pages of the book are interspersed with the fusion of large characters and images, precisely to abstract the sense of urgency during the Anti Japanese period.

Tianwen's Literary and Artistic Nation section focuses on the development of literature and art in China in 1938, against the backdrop of the war's turmoil. Several important international friends are mentioned as "individuals" representing "countries", such as Ulysses S. Evans and Paik Chou-en, etc. I have expanded the term "country" to "China and the West. Seizing this clue, I expanded the "country" to "Middle West" and the "independent individual" to "human network". "The Spanish Civil War and the War of Resistance Against Japan were taken as the historical background of the book, i.e. the dark line, and a multi-character compilation was organized. Under the influence, transmission, assistance, and participation of international friends, and under the working together, cooperation, and fellowship of Chinese and Western historical figures, the literary and artistic content with unique glory unfolds, which is mainly divided into five panels in the book for interpretation: theater, film, photography, painting, and politics.

The book is like a web of dots and glittering figures: the reader will be pleasantly surprised to discover that everything is intricately connected, and that the contemporaries do not work in isolation, but are intricately intertwined.

The book borrows from the illustrated Atlas Of The Copenhagens in terms of size and aesthetic quality, with black and white as the base for the cover design and image processing, making the narrative more objective and the overall storytelling tone smoother. In terms of organization logic, the characters appear one by one, like a movie curtain call, very coherent. This movie style can also be found in the design of the catalog.

Cosmic Mapping

"The earth is the cradle of mankind, but mankind cannot be bound to the cradle forever."

Russian cosmology is a hybrid and syncretic ideology that combines many different key features, such as pseudoscience, mysticism,New God-building, and New Age thinking.

This book refers to surveying and mapping books and creates a section that runs through the history of Soviet design in the form of a timeline from beginning to end.

The visual effects of this book are based on the keywords with avant-garde characteristics that appear in the history of design: red, tilt, sense of power, irregularity and geometric figures. The content editing logic refers to the narrative line of Tianwen Design's social section journal, maps cosmism ideas to people (society) and machines, and finally responds to the concept of immortality in cosmism, making the structure of the entire book a spherical cycle. Rhythm is a state of mutual restraint and correlation.

Montage and Image

Montage is an artistic practice that has existed almost since the birth of photography itself. When the first train roared across the screen, "film" was born.

From 1899 to 1909, the grammar of cinema entered a period of chaotic experimentation, with filmmakers eager to test the possibilities of editing individual shots into something more meaningful. Just as the Modernists responded to the illusionism of the "assembled picture," the Dadaists, Constructivists, and Surrealists all produced films that challenged the classical narrative system.

This book follows the four stages of montage as a narrative line, interspersed with images of montage images and representative figures from each stage. The narrative logic gradually changes from small to large, reflecting the gradual refinement of montage.

Viewing the Garden from Multiple Perspectives

As an extension of the garden and time section, this book extracts the concepts of "collection" and "observation of Fa", which are the blood and blood of ancient Chinese gardens. However, under the construction of the Western context, China's local construction does not follow the precious tradition in the blood well, but is more "Western". By quoting a series of papers, this book attempts to explore the possibility of local construction in China from four aspects: past, present, future and practice. Therefore, as a book in local context, the book uses the vertical text rule to construct the book itself, and refers to surveying and mapping books, and uses a lot of white space and search to reflect and demonstrate the concepts of "collection" and "observation", which is also an exploration of ancient architecture gardens built on two-dimensional books. Editors always think: architecture is happening.

Art·Education

"Pure aesthetic education is to cultivate our feelings, to make us have noble and pure habits, and to make people's egoism and selfish thoughts of self-interest and detriment to others to be gradually discouraged."

This book takes the "85th New Wave" as the starting point of the whole narrative, and divides the history of 1920~1985 into five chapters, showing the development of "art" and "education" centered on the China Academy of Art and the development of this period of time through flashbacks. Through flashbacks, it shows the development of "art" and "education" centered on the China Academy of Art, and the extension and influence of this history on the world. The selection of content is based on a timeline, supplemented by a character line, to show the connection between "art" and "education" from different perspectives.

Visually, the red timeline runs throughout the book, and heavy and distinctive paper patterns were chosen to show the heaviness of history and the "movement" and "stillness" of time flowing slowly forward in the book.

Vessel carrying road

The relationship between "Dao" and "Vessel" was first seen in "The upper form is called the Dao, while the lower form is called the vessel" The simple Dao ware view reflects the ancient people's serious thinking about the relationship between artifacts and human artifacts and nature. In the process of craft creation, the design, production and production of utensils strictly follow its "Dao".

 "The way is to make the best of the vessel, and the vessel is to carry the way." Carrying Dao is the artistic conception of traditional Chinese creation, which is embodied in the relationship between man and nature, which is the unity of heaven and man. The tool understood by Chinese traditional culture is not just a tool, but a carrier of knowledge and thought. Obviously, if people are only satisfied with the description of the physical characteristics of the objects, and can not see people through the objects, then we will miss the essence of our own civilization. We must have an attitude when we learn Chinese culture. Whether it is Buddhist Guanyin, or the Silk Road, or export navigation, the spread of artifacts not only represents the inheritance and change of culture, but also shows the continuation and progress of civilization of The Times.

Object with belief

The Book of Changes proposes the concept that the metaphysical is called the Tao, and the metaphysical is called the tool. If an object only has functional attributes and does not carry the "great way", such an object is superficial and crude. Some people may ask what the Great Way is. Laozi said that the Great Way is indescribable, and its essence is a philosophical thought. The way of artifacts is refined, which not only includes the purpose of use, but also carries cultural connotations.

This book revolves around the theme of "making objects and valuing images", with different character identities as chapters and the sea land Silk Road trade as the background, to narrate the relationship between objects and the way of objects. At the same time, the timeline is extended to the contemporary era, and through the works of some artists with religious connotations, the current objects and the way of objects are portrayed.

Archaeological Notes

The content of the book "Archaeological Notes" is based on the text and cultural text section of "Tianwen". After thousands of years of development from scratch, this book starts from the perspective of an archaeologist, starting from Zhou Yuan, and pushing the timeline all the way back to primitive society. From the discovery of ruins one by one, the excavation of cultural relics echoes the corresponding text symbols.

The book is divided into three parts, text, totem, and symbol. The first and second parts mainly use the relationship between words and utensils to tell the development process from the beginning of writing to the stage when writing has not yet been systematically formed, that is, the development of writing. The third part is about thinking and thinking through the traces left on the utensils. Speculate the usage scenario of the text, that is, the source of the text. This book uses a large number of graphic narratives to more clearly feel the connection between words, totems, symbols and artifacts.

In the early stage of the course, "the archives of dark" was surveyed and mapped. Based on the disassembly and analysis of content and form, "the archives of dark" was used in the form of an atlas and images were used to explain the content. Use the arrangement, combination and positional relationship of images to convey information.
