Algorithmic Reading II, 2017
The project attempts to distill the narrative of The Old Man And The Sea to meaningful symbols compiled with computational method, with hopes to create a visual story parallel to the cannon narrative.

All semantic information are gathered from the text using Python, visualized using Processing for “type-setting” in Indesign.

*Footnotes in the book are quotes in the text that correspond to the bracketed line of symbols.
