Graphic Thought Facility（GTF）
This publication was issued as part of the Bits World series by Graphic Thought Facility (GTF), an experimental design studio based in London. It critically examines how digital technology affects our thinking, perception, and graphic expression.
Through fragmentary texts and diagrammatic layouts, the book approaches technology not merely as a tool, but as a force that reshapes the very structure of thought itself.
Rather than offering definitive answers, its “Directions”–based structure reflects the intellectual stance of the late 1990s to early 2000s, a formative moment in the emergence of digital culture. Read today, the publication reveals a striking breadth and continuing relevance in its scope.
A commission from Swiss publisher Gabrielle Capelli to produce a book about GTF created a challenge: how to present old work in a new way?
Copies of every past print project were laid out on the floor of a hired film studio and a purpose-built copy camera was rolled across the work. This allowed layout decisions to be made through the camera lens. Once the shots had been taken, the design process was essentially reduced to arranging the images in the right sequence – a relatively easy task.
