Abstract

Text and image are two of the most effective tools for conveying an idea. Powerful notions can be conveyed not just by what is written, but also by how it is conveyed. Covering the Record was an exploration of these resources as a means to suggest concepts beyond the surface-level wording. Deliberate quelling of foundational documents, installing conflicting theorems into a single form to compete for dominance, and the use of unconventional languages all serve the central theme of Covering the Record, which is to look beyond the exterior because what is penned and said may be two different things.
