Greeklish: Language Immersion / 2021

CONCEPT

A self-initiated project based on an educational technique, where two languages are used for instruction. The aim is to celebrate Greeklish, the Greek language written in the Latin alphabet, mostly on the Internet, as a means for contemporary communication.

The editorial piece introduces the reader to the languages and allows for visual and verbal comparison. Some words seem more complicated than others due to multiple representations of Greek characters in Latin. These variations are signified through the use of paper.

By scanning the inside covers, the viewer engages with the languages digitally, through an interactive translation system. Generated using creative coding, this tool responds to the position of the finger on the screen with a slider and reveals the corresponding Greeklish word.
