Introduction
This book is a print-on-demand publication and perpetual draft comprised of a series of essays and studio explorations that interrogate simultaneous interpretation as a design method. Updated versions of the book are periodically retrieved for printing as content is filled in and edited. 300 pages.
In lieu of planning for the scope of the research, the scale of the book itself is put forward as a mechanism for planning.
This book also serves as an improvisational experiment in publishing as a research practice. Granted, this isn’t a new proposition. Continual innovation in print and digital publishing means that the relationship between research and publishing is constantly shifting, and graphic designers are often at the center of projects that aim to interrogate or take advantage of this shifting relationship. Many of these projects, like this book, exploit the immediacy of digital publishing—whether that means content that is published on digital platforms or content that is printed using digital technologies—to explore how this temporal condition can foreground the provisional, iterative, and mutable nature of

practice?
knowledge?
Simultaneous interpretation is both the explicit subject of this book and the implicit method by which writing, publishing, and design are leveraged as research practices.
