'Books Still?'

A relevant extension to my past brief: 'Lyrical Extension.'

'Cerebral Extension'
The reason behind this name came from the concept alongside
the content which <<EDUCATE<<<.  The problem I have decided to solve:
Everyone 'reads' differently.  My definition of 'read' meaning
'effectively receiving information of a literary kind.'

Again, the idea behind this project is to educate.
Unlike Lyrical Extension- with a focus on the rhyme, rhythm and
emotion behind the visualisation of poetry, Cerebral Extension
focuses on classic excerpts from well known essays through the 
ages- deconstructing the overarching ideas behind them, 
detatching the emotion from the work.  With more a reflection 
and debate on the content in front of them, rather than a
personal thought process.

There will be a live reading of the excerpt- alongside a projection
of relevant information, and a physical handout of the spoken text.

The aim of the event is to make you think, not just listen.  
- this is mainly where the physical hand out comes into its own.
i.e.

Group 1 within the grid represent a
certain type of reader.  This area of 
the grid will be utilised for example, 
with smaller point size and summative
statements. 

Group 2 will be first in the visual 
heirarchy.  The more 'lazy' reader will
see this content first and perhaps
give up on the rest of the text.  Relying
on the spoken word rather than the type.

Group 3 will pay more attention to the 
heavy body copy, trying to understand 
before they hear the speaker.  Like a 
child in class who reads ahead
