    Typography 2: Instruction Manuals for Natural Phenomena

    “what binds the universe together at its core?”, Faust asks. “what binds Typography together at its core?”, you ask back. — how do you kern a word ? how do you collect clouds? use a grid? chase rainbows? justify text? sort through rain? use punctuation marks? listen to dust? build information hierarchies? wait for sand? format footnotes? turn to air? — we will work on publications as instruction manuals for natural phenomena, in order to explore micro- and macrotypography, research and performance.

    Typography 1: Letters

    Writing letters, drawing letters, to you, to me, to strangers. To sharpen our senses, to think with our hands and touch with our minds, we will travel to pasts and futures, get in touch with ourselves, with ancestors and future generations, reconcile with butterflies and rivers and stars, dissect and rebuild the grids, structures and shapes of nature and society, come back and draw letters again.

    Mare Mediterraneum

    The Mediterranean Sea as a border, as a place, as a space - for wind, waves and ground, for journeys, for escape, for sea dwellers, cargo ships and narratives, for longing, for memories, for stagnation, for movement and currents.

    (Non) Artificial (Maybe) Intelligence

    What and who and how and why? So many questions around AI, tools, models and training Data, possibilities, limitations and risks. Using these technologies to comment on the very same ones through the lenses of history, politics, society, culture and science we approached this with humour as a high order maybe-intelligence.
