Letters are often understood as flat, two-dimensional symbols arranged in sequence to form words and, ultimately, meaning. But when we begin to work with them more deliberately, we start to see beyond their appearance as written symbols — they have structure, volume, and personality. Letters can be seen as objects with form, balance, and weight, capable of occupying space and conveying ideas visually.

Though usually treated as phonetic tools, what if letters were viewed as visual objects, detached from sound and language?

Bored Board 002 explores this idea by approaching letters from scratch with the help of machines. Treated as unfamiliar objects rather than language symbols, how might machines describe letters as physical entities? What would their analogies look like?
