playfulness of those who seek free thought and imagination.






In Ray Bradbury’s dystopian world, society is a mindless drone, gobbling up images on their television screens without digestion. There is nothing to read, nothing to feel, nothing to think. In this way, human consciousness ceases to exist and humanity itself is nil. Free will and free thought have been abolished in this police state - this is represented by book burning. In order to express these ideas, the primary element of fire will be used in conjuction with ink. The type in this piece will be fighting a losing battle, both to represent the plot of the film but also as an ode to the film’s original opening segment. The type is not meant to be read legibly and digested. No, it must be destroyed so that it cannot be read, as the law has intended.
