On-screen Writing

This work records a screen travelogue. While browsing travel websites, the author attempts to transform the images encountered into self-created pictograms, thereby creating a contemporary form of pictographic writing suitable for the era of screen-based viewing.

The author then uses NVIDIA's open-source GauGAN to transcribe this screen travelogue. As the text is written, GauGAN simultaneously converts the visual features inherent in the pictograms into realistic images. This work digitally presents the author's screen-browsing experience. Anyone can rewrite these characters in GauGAN to experience the author's screen-touring journey.
