The Dictionary of the Analogue // The Dictionary of the Digital

ByJonathan Hanahan

Usually printed in 3 - 5 business days
This book documents a research project completed in 2014 at the Rhode Island School of Design. The project explores language in both physical and digital environments. By archiving words which contain alternative meanings in each world through a singular window, specifically the window of a Google image search, this project slightly vibrates our associations with language in contemporary society. By isolating the traditional bonds with these particular homonyms, the book shows multiple aspects of our contemporary relationships with language in both analogue and digital environments. This vibration is about revealing that while the distinction between the two associations may be vast, the experience of their use is far less polarizing. In reality, these associations and uses happen simultaneously. We are in both worlds at once and thus, the interface is no longer a gateway to another place. It is a place unto itself.
