“Workspace Unlimited organzation, founded by Thomas Soetens [new media artist] and Kora Van den Bulcke [architect], is a mobile laboratory and creation space dedicated to experimental new media production and research, situated at the point where art, architecture and digital technologies converge to create new contexts of hybrid and augmented reality. “
I have dermatographia, a condition in which one’s immune system releases excessive amounts of histamine, causing capillaries to dilate and welts to appear (lasting about thirty minutes) when the hypersensitive skin’s surface is lightly scratched. This allows me to painlessly draw on my skin with just enough time to photograph the results.

“A typographic experiment playing with the “Parallax Effect”, light-perspective distortion and shadow. The final piece was an intallation in a cubed room, combining a rotating light source and dispersed, hanging pixel-blocks in order to project words on the surrounding walls.”

“In 1969, a 14-year-old Beatle fanatic named Jerry Levitan, armed with a reel-to-reel tape deck, snuck into John Lennon’s hotel room in Toronto and convinced John to do an interview. ”

“In this study, we reconstructed visual images by combining local image bases of multiple scales, whose contrasts were independently decoded from fMRI activity by automatically selecting relevant voxels and exploiting their correlated patterns.”
Né en 2005, le Blog Design & Typo est une de mes plus belles aventures à la fois sentimentale et culturelle. Ce qui au départ, ne devait être qu’un support de cours pour mes élèves d’e-art sup, s’est très vite transformé en une expérience de partage de culture majeure.
The majority of typographic experiments I have conducted thus far fall into three categories: intra-letter shape manipulations; inter-letter transitions; and three-dimensional spatial explorations.

Précis: The Alphabet Synthesis Machine is an interactive online artwork which allows one to create and evolve the possible writing systems of one’s own imaginary civilizations. The abstract alphabets produced by the Machine can be downloaded as PC-format TrueType fonts, and are entered into a comprehensive archive of user creations. The products of the Machine probe the liminal territories between familiarity and chaos, language and gesture.
Peter Ciccariello is an cross-genre poet, artist, and photographer, who is fascinated by words and the unbreachable spaces between things. His current interests are in experimenting with the melding of text and images in virtual worlds.

“This site represents the space where typography and topography overlap: explorations of type in virtual environments, experiments in mapping, and innovations in textual display. TYPOTOPO examines how the act of reading evolves when letters and words, viewed both as text and image, are placed in interactive and dynamic environments. TYPOTOPO explores typographic information spaces and the possibilities for playful, expressive letterforms.”
“New visual languages have been created for information display which exploit the computer’s unique ability to render dynamic and three-dimensional typography. These languages demonstrate that the use of three dimensional form, expressive movement, visual focus and layering, in harmony with human perceptual abilities, improve navigation and contextual understanding of complex written documents.”
