Miriam Magdalena Tetzlaff | No hidden message [2009]
‘No hidden message’ is a personal project about digital type and text. It’s about explorations and experiments with letters, words and messages. I picked the impact of the transition of the alphabet and script from physical objects to software as the central theme - to explore how typography and writing gets affected by digitization.
The focus is on contemporary trends in design, communication, tools and media.
The type experiments are primarily realized through writing in programming language. They are based on the shapes of a font designed and realised especially for the project and produce two-, three- and four-dimensional vector graphics and tools. The graphic above is 2D only and was created exclusively for this exhibition.
