I took a phrase in Chinese that means “to read” 看书. It consists of two characters, which separately means “to look” 看 and “a book” 书. Using a paper-based 3D printer, I wanted to substitute the second character with the material of its denotation. What fascinates me about the 3D technology is the possibility to take a flat character from a book and give it three dimensions to exist, that word 看 could be touched and perceived as an object, not only as a symbol.
