Who Owns History Book
A study in Information transparency
Who Owns History, a book about Brewster Khale, is printed entirely on clear transparencies. Collecting every website ever launched since 1996, Khale found himself at the center of several controversies and came to believe that access to too much information can make information inaccessible. Visualizing this point, Who Owns History divides images into CMYK layers, and by way of print and image on transparencies, puzzles readers with apparent depth. Titles are set in Trade Gothic and text is in Swift Light.
