In recent years, the alphabetic keyboard has become a tool for image-making. Alphabetic characters are now not only considered in terms of their potential to display linguistic information, but also their potential to act as artists' marks. Type Image presents a collection of contemporary works which challenge the divide between type and image. These examples use typed characters in the construction of pictorial forms. Distinct from other forms of experimental typography, the aim of these works is not to decorate letterforms, but to utilise them as the component parts of a more significant pictorial whole. |
