issue no.2 [y] yield
What do you yield?
An inquiry into the threshold of creation where human intent meets algorithmic randomness by yielding sensory authority to AI. This issue features an open-ended narrative system where readers physically connect linguistic fragments to construct their own stories, redefining the balance between system and choice.
Narrative
[Y] YIELD explores the threshold between human intent and algorithmic randomness. In the act of creation, we yield a portion of our control and sensory authority to AI, delegating judgment to the machine. This project asks: in the gap between production and release, what do we give up, and what do we choose to keep?
System
The book is designed as an open, fluid structure where meanings are never fixed. Readers are invited to rearrange and recombine words and sentences, constructing their own unique narratives. While the project starts with a single question, no two outcomes are ever the same—each participant's perception expands differently as control and randomness overlap.
Craft
The visual patterns are born from a custom-built program that transforms sentences into structures. By manually layering analog gestures over these digital outputs, the work physically manifests the tension and relationship between systemic generation and human choice. [Y] YIELD is not a finished object, but a continuous process that takes new form with every reader’s decision.
