Go read a sentence and tell me how much of it you remember. Now go read a paragraph and tell me what you remember. The less you have to focus on, the more focused you are on that information, and the better you remember it. As far as status in relation to whitespace, it’s likely to be the result of desperation. Someone who is of a higher status doesn’t have to try as hard to make a statement perhaps…

From an artistic standpoint, it’s just shocking…

Interesting topic. :)
