NEW is a thesis that defines the state of newness and its relationship with time. Each of its three parts is designed to function as a score for thoughts.
Volume 1 discusses the state in which newness exists. It conveys that newness is not something to be created in the future or that it does not exist now, but rather, it already exists and is validated at the moment it is revealed. The first page may appear to have no content, but in fact, the word 'Unconcealed'(Word choice inspired by Martin Heidegger's interpretation of Aletheia.) is typed all over the page. After setting the font color to white, the page was printed. Since the printer cannot read white, the paper passed through the printer as it is. Meanwhile, the second page of volume 1 provides a ‘clue’ to the reader. The same content as the first page is replicated here, but printed on black paper with black ink. Although it requires a bit of exploration of the page, the reader can recognize the letters by reading the page under a certain amount of light. That way, readers can perceive the contents of the first page as well.
Volumes 2 and 3 explore three distinct dimensions of newness: the time of newness that flows in contradiction to linear time, newness that undergoes an immediate transformation when temporality is applied, and newness that, when endowed with timelessness, remains in its original state forever.
