Hello everyone, my name is Yiming Chen. I am an approachable critical designer and a visual culture practitioner driven by academic research with an affinity for using graphic design to reshape people’s perceptions of established cultural norms.

“Human, Data, Power” is a direct response to the ISTD power briefing, exploring the contested power dynamics between humans and data through different forms of typographic intervention. The project aims to critically and reflectively encourage a re-examination of the complex relationship between humans and data in contemporary society. The collection responds to and simulates the complexity of the human-data relationship in three different forms.

The project responds to a single question through three different forms: what is the relationship between humans and data?

The symbols featured in the publication are created by intertwining two typefaces that respectively represent humans and data. Through their combination, new forms emerge, simulating shifts in power relations between the two.

By using the reflective distortion of lettering symbols on an aluminum cylinder, a surreal simulacra is constructed. Is this simulacrum real?
