1. TextFields - TF002

    TextFields is an investigation into the metaphysical worlds between text and space.

    We are interested in the possible forces that text can generate within a spatial and formal context.

    Exploring the sensual energy of unfocused and charged textual forms, we want to understand where do fonts and space lose their limits, where do they become forces and vectors in a field, and where this field is perceived as a field for the unfamiliar; a field without a perceived centre, a field where the inherent qualities of both are dismantled, where the reader, the voyeur and the visitor are intertwined, and where in this lies the emergence of a field of text.

    (…) Actually, typefaces and racing bikes are very much alike. Both are ideas as well as machines, and neither should be burdened with excess drag or baggage. Pictures of pumping feet will not make the type go faster, any more than smoke trails, pictures of rocket ships or imitation lightning bolts tied to the frame will improve the speedof the bike

    Colossal overhead clock tells time, replaces boring light fixtures

    Filed under: ,

    Realities:United has created a device that will likely bring back fond memories of Coldplay’s X&Y tour a few years ago, particularly if you were there for the first 60 or so seconds when a gigantic timepiece such as the one seen above counted down the show’s start. Without getting too reminiscent up in here, the artistsspace commissioned project not only keeps track of time impeccably well, but it also replaces those mundane fixtures that have become an unfortunate mainstay in corporate offices. Now, if only the workday would whiz by as quickly as the one shown in the demonstrative video located in the read link, you’d be all set. [Warning: read link directs to video]
