Mass + Text wants to understand the relationship between language (analogue and digital signals), objects, and the communities they anchor. I’m curious about ideas about how we translate thought into form, and back again.

I’m not entirely sure what I’m doing

Mass + Text happened because I like words, and I like the idea that objects are a byproduct of their cultural context. I think there’s an interesting back and forth between said things and made things,and this is an attempt to think-through-writing till I make some sense of it.
