Univers
Digital Video, 2005, 00:01:14
This experimental animation was made in a graduate workshop in grahic design at Virginia Commonwealth University.
Wordy Graduate Project Statement:
These type studies were an attempt to liberate type from its structure, meaning, form and dimensionality.
It can be argued that language is anything that communicates information.
Through the process of removing an imposed structure, meaning and form, and applying dimensionality, the type becomes a completely new
object, communicating an entirely new language.
Univers, the source typeface in the this film, was designed in 1954 by Adrian Frutiger. The source audio for the second film is derived from "Music For Piano # 2," written by John Cage in 1953—which too has been extruded and recontextualized to take on a completely new form.
Please see the accompanying video "Garamond".
