About Command Z Bogdesign

Command Z er en bog, der visualiserer den hukommelsestab, som Alzheimers sygdom forårsager. Bogen er inddelt i et tidligt, et mellemliggende og et sent afsnit, der svarer til sygdommens stadier. Der anvendes en forskellig designtilgang i hvert afsnit. Det skrøbelige kalkerpapir i det tidlige afsnit afspejler patienternes sårbarhed. I det mellemliggende afsnit anvendes temperaturfølsom blæk, så teksten kun fremkommer, når man lægger hånden på siden. I det sene afsnit kombineres bogen med ild, og det brændte papir kan ikke repareres – ligesom den tabte hukommelse.

Unique Properties
In this project, the design concept is to visualise the memory loss process of patients with Alzheimer's disease in the form of a book and to combine Command Z with the love story of a couple who suffer from the disease to raise awareness of Alzheimer's disease.
Production Technology
Many approaches were used in the production. For example, variable temperature inks, blank pen marks (pencil print), polaroid photos and combining the book with fire.
Inspiration
Alzheimer's disease is a progressive brain disease. While ageing, the patient's brain will gradually degenerate and seriously affect daily activities. Therefore, Alzheimer's disease has become the most common form of cognitive impairment. In the research process, I found an old couple from Taiwan who is like the old version of " A Moment of Remembrance". Even though they lost their memory due to illness, their love for each other is too deep to be changed.
Operation Flow
There are ways of interacting in this book.
Firstly, about temperature-sensitive ink. The temperature-sensitive ink can change with the temperature. When people put their hands on it, the text appears.
Secondly, to make a pen mark, you need to overlap two blank papers. Using a pencil, one writes on the top piece of paper. The paper below will leave blank handwriting; when people want to read the paper with the blank script, can scribble on the paper with the pencil to get the information shown.
