SG Sync

SG Sync is a sci-fi display font with contextual alter-
native glyphs. The font was designed by combining a limited amount of different components in various ways. The project was initiated at the saturday type fever event at HfG Karlsruhe in 2019. Meanwhile, the project was developed into a full typeface, including european language support, numbers and punctuation.

New Shekels

This is a visual diary of a short trip to Israel. Experiencing what it feels like to be in a completely foreign linguistic environment, where you cannot read a single character, can be liberating but also suffocating. It’s a free space where characters can be observed purely for their aesthetics, freeing you from the constraints of legibility and linguistic conventions.

Vibrating bird and handwritten letter

I participated in the 16th exhibition of the Korean Typography Society, “The Jindong Bird and the Handwritten Letter.”

The theme was “I took a food from an envelope and gave it to the vibrating bird that just poked at me,” in the new work of science fiction writer Kim Cho-yeop.

In order to express the overall theme, direct images of ‘vibrating bird’ and ‘handwritten letter’ were expressed, and the shape and characteristics of ‘food’ were applied to the letters. I wanted to express the phenomenon of birds breaking irregularly when they peck at their prey to convey the strange and interesting impression felt in the subject.🤪

AI Typography experiment

Experimentation with new artificial intelligence tools led Edoardo to generate possible typographic visualizations reflecting his design thinking. The goal of the experimentation is to demonstrate that artificial intelligence can be a possibility for designers by placing design thinking as the central element and not the high software skills required to generate the visuals, thus allowing the designer to spend more time researching the desired output and less time on the software.

AI Wiphala Alphabets

With the help of Stable Diffusion, 36 alphabets with different textures and themes were obtained from the Wiphala color font, which is part of the research project “Visual Chronicles of Abya Yala” by designer Vanessa Zúñiga Tinizaray. This exercise was enriching because it allowed us to learn how to write prompts that meet our requirements, explore the topic of typography using artificial intelligence, and demonstrate its potential to improve results while preserving the essence of the typography used as a starting point.

Traces of Type

Do letters leave memories behind? Once a letter is read or disappears from the screen, is there any trace left?
Traces of type is a visual exploration of the interplay between typography, memory, and the passage of time. Like ghosts that haunt abandoned spaces, the letters are faint echoes of a past that is no longer present, yet still resonates with meaning and emotion.
In this project I’ve used ink, paper and Adobe Photoshop to create translucent layers, blurred edges, and faded colours. I create a sense of ambiguity inviting viewers to engage with the ghostly remnants of typography, and to reflect on their on the ways in which they shape our perceptions and memories.

COPY PASTE

Copy & Paste is one of the most used shortcuts and processes in digital work and creation. It’s quick, easy, productive … and boring. This poster demonstrates the lost of efficiency. No matter if brain cells, innovation or information. Copy & Paste prevents criticism, though processes and fresh solutions.

Walk Bye Public Art exhibitions

Walk Bye was created to show the creativity and perseverance of a community and create something everyone needed during the COVID pandemic — connection to others outside the virtual. Walk Bye originated as a collective outdoor art exhibition to bring together artists and community members with a sense of hope and connectivity through the experience of public art.

The line between Art and Science

The separation of art and science is an important feature of modern life – but it also constitutes a critical loss. With Mindblowers, the Vrije Universiteit Brussel and the Flemish Royal Theatre aim to reconnect different disciplines, bridging sometimes disparate elements and bringing them back into proximity. The Mindblowers book follows the five Mindblowers events and exhibition.

bubmag – a digital bridge from visual stimulus to in-depth information

bubmag addresses the confrontation with the analog and the digital and its transformation. It seeks a new way of conveying information: the increasing importance of the image is met uncompromisingly, without losing any depth of content. In the process, digital influence and manipulation are significantly reduced because the concept allows for a wide variety of viewpoints – as a counterpoint to the process of selective exposure. The curated images on each topic serve as emotional catalysts, and the linked (via QR codes) in-depth text content is dynamically generated algorithmically from aggregated information from multiple sources (bubmag.com).

I Take Full Responsibility

I Take Full Responsibility is an experimental Risograph and screen-printed 36-page book collecting ten of the most notable communications from technology company CEOs since November 2022, who, during that time, have reduced their employee bases by huge swathes. Accompanied by a personal introduction, photos, and artwork from ten years in tech, it is a time capsule circumventing Silicon Valley’s short-term memory and a clear statement of fact that work will not love you back. Its urgent message arrives packaged within a transparent acetate cover with laser-cut accessory prints and delivered in a personalized Inter-office envelope. Its first edition sold out in less than 24 hours.

THE SUBLIME

What is our contemporary sublime? How does the sublime landscape shift to a more complex and distanced nothingness? To find the visual representation of the awe and terror of sublime experience caused by the impact of digital technology nowadays, the awe-inspiring size and complexity in this work present the computer language of one single landscape image in a five-meter-long scroll.

When these digital translations apply to an analogue format, they also alter their original context’s narrative. The digital components and infinite information show a kind of distanced and complex relationship between nature and the network environment.

UNCREATIVE PORTRAIT_WHAT_IF_I_AM_A_NOBODY.PDF

‘Uncreative portrait’ is an accumulation that documents the designer’s single portrait in multiple visual languages produced by the impact of computers and cyberspace.

By examining the digital sublime as an alternative visual representation, it establishes a discourse around the aura of self-identity in the age of digital reproduction. These images continuously explore our digital self’s shifting authenticity and identity in the contemporary digital era. Is there a line between the self and its data shadow? Where is our physical memory going in this endless re-identification process?

BETU

“The big balancer. Eternal WORK IN PROGRESS. Born while listening to my favorite no wave performers. Always balancing in the minute of OR, on the border of ‘A’ or ‘B’, stuck in the moment of decision. Programmed but handmade, for display, but for text, traditional grotesk, but handwriting based, mechanical, but full of intuitive details, guitar music, but wants to destroy guitars, wanna make music but it should be no-music.“ — Boldizsár Tóth
Inspired by these thoughts I designed a specimen for Boldizsár’s BETU font, through an interview with him and the process of making the font. Besides typographic compositions I integrated some of the InDesign crashes I captured during the process.

Is seven a lot?

Is seven a lot? // Seven. What does seven mean? Seven at one stroke. You have to cross 7 bridges. The world was created in 7 days. There are 7 days in a week. 7 world wonders. 7 dwarfs. And so on. The seven seems to play a leading role. In religion, mythology and also in superstition, it appears everywhere. But is seven a lot or a little? Or perhaps just the right amount? The answers are seemingly limitless and consist of countless fragments. One possibility branches out into further possibilities and these in turn into further proliferating facets. Questions about truth, reality and actuality arise.

Sex, but how?

“Sex, but how?” is a publication that highlights the topic of sexual diversity from twelve different perspectives as part of sexual education. It tells the stories of drastically different, extraordinary people, that are not afraid of speaking openly and loudly about sexual diversity, and willing to share their personal experiences. It was of a great importance with the project “Sex, but how?” to not only pay certain contribution to explaining the diversity of sexual identities but make this important information accessible and exciting for young people.
