Interfaces

After our 'Interfaces of the Word' lecture, I really like the idea of writing as a technology.

And this is an idea that came around BEFORE computers and such.

Writing helps us visualise thoughts and cognitive feelings, and in a way, this makes them concrete.

This is probably why a lot of artists use type in their work because it creates a way to complete a thought, and also a formulate a much stronger image and idea if its written across a page or canvas, rather than giving the audeince space to come to thier own conclusion about the work.

The most interesting reading/link suggested this week was Dreaming Methods, which combines typography and new media to create really interesting digital designs.

This one encorporates both text and image, something i really liked the idea of. And this acutally looks like a dream.
