READ examines the intimacy and relationships between human beings and books through a first-person experience of observations through the context of reading.
In today’s era of artificial intelligence, we find ourselves once again questioning our own humanity. Amidst this uncertainty, Atelier HOKO has chosen the book as both subject and context to explore and interrogate the intrinsic human behaviours associated with reading. It raises the discussion of how the humble book will continue to resist the digitisation of our reading experience, not out of nostalgia or resistance to change, but as a necessity to understand what reading truly means.
This showcase is developed from the 16th edition of Atelier HOKO’s research publication series “Science of the Secondary”, where the subject of “BOOK” is thoroughly interrogated through a sense-based process of inquiry.
