Breaking the Principle of Normality
An interactive dissertation that leads readers room by room through a Norwegian prison to examine whether penal “normality” functions as a rights-based practice.
Field notes
The project organizes its argument as a navigable prison floor plan rather than a conventional dissertation chapter list. Its four sections—Entering, Living, Contested, and Return—lead through a stated twenty-seven spaces, with each room paired to a short reading and OSCOLA references. The author says the visual rooms use generated, interpretive imagery rather than documentary photographs, and the interface includes optional ambient sound.
