A book with hyperlinks by Maria Fischer

Internet browsers took some concepts from books, like the bookmarks for example. For her design diploma’s work in 2010, Maria Fischer did the opposite, she took a concept that is typically found on the internet, hyperlinks, and tried to apply it to a book.

For that purpose, she used strings to connect words with other places in the book. The results are quite confusing, although beautiful, but this book experiment does make a point. It shows how complex hyperlinks are, but also how hard it is to visualize the connections made on the Internet.
