Abstract
These days, we rarely find youth engaged in reading or writing books. Yet, the joy in these activities is inevitable. When first exposed to reading, the new reader may find themself drawn into new worlds of excitement, amazement, emotion, philosophy, and adventure. And I have, indeed, been amazed, excited, and touched by the writings of students in only two months this year.
This compilation of short stories includes work written by students from different degree programmes at the University of Saint Joseph (USJ), Macao, China, in 2021. Students involved in this project include students from the Faculty of Arts and Humanities’ Bachelor of Architectural Studies, Bachelor of Communication and Media, Bachelor of Design and Bachelor of Fashion Design.
Another part of this project was an installation around the Ilha Verde Campus, an interactive text printing system, introduced in the Summer of 2021. Projects from different years and modules often being overlooked are also worth the attention. With that said, this short compilation and installation have become a part of the project.
“(Un)directed Reading” is an installation designed to randomly generate extracts from the selected work edited below. It aims to get the general public and interested individuals to come to the front of the kiosk and be surprised. To read the story, the public, by pressing a button, prints a small extract of one of the stories and a QR code, with a receipt printer, while the QR code directs readers to a website with the complete text and original illustrations.
Acknowledgement and dedication to all students who contributed to this project which would not have succeeded without their ideas, and interest. Contributions of professors: Álvaro Barbosa (Vice Rector of USJ), and Carlos Cena Caires (Dean of the Faculty of Arts and Humanities), whose enthusiastic support and input were integral to the success of the project; Professors Gérald Estadieu and Filipe Farinha for their devotion to the computer coding for their devotion to code day in and out; Ms June Iec, for her wonderful and detailed illustrations.
