Rules Archive for the multitude of web environments

Artist

Yehwan Song

Introduction

Websites have different output results depending on the size and resolution of the display. There are rules to be applied to websites in order to maintain
a consistent level of readability and typography in different output environments.
collects, observes and compares the rules.

1. Create original site ‘A’ with the same content and layout at a specific resolution.
2. Make multiple copy sites ‘A1’, ‘A2’, and so on, with different rules on the original site.
3. Under the same resolution conditions, the output of all copy sites appears in tiled form.

Unclear

Artist

Sera Yong

Introduction

An object called a different word by a person or region, an abstract or conceptual object that does not have a specific name, an object with a large
number of corresponding words, an object difficult or ambiguous to predict what the corresponding word is. is a work on these objects.
On one side of the exhibition room are words that the artist names. On the other side, objects that express the words in the manner of the artist are shown.
The spectators are inconvenienced because they can not see them at the same time. When they see only words, they imagine how the artist would
express them. When they see only the object, they worry about what it is.

Stationary

Artist

Rohwajeong

Introduction

There is a desk. On the desk, there are holes in the shape of objects that are not arranged in order and spread out. It is ordinary objects we have come across in our daily lives, such as pencils, erasers, ballpoints, rulers, protractors, scissors, colored pencils. Their outline shapes are engraved on the table at a depth that can be hidden. Information about the stationaries that exist only on the outline can be checked in the research book on one side. Desks are objects for a variety of arts and hobbies that can be expressed by hand rather than digital devices such as computers. The set of tools used for the typography, a base of these various activities, is the purpose of the table. The arrangement of shapes for it is itself typography again.

Experiments for Harmony

Artist

Yang-Jang

Introduction

In modern typography, Hangeul is often used with the Latin alphabet. At this time, it is not easy to use different characters in harmony, because there is
a clear limit to designing and using characters harmoniously that have evolved in different environments. For this reason, designers often adopt a somewhat
passive attitude recognizing and compromising the differences in the origin of each character and its growth background.
Yang-Jang see these limits is attributed to ‘character’. They want to show their research about the primitive formative rather than the letter from the typeface
designer’s point of view. extracts 20 keywords that are frequently used in font design, such as ‘future-oriented’ and ‘flowing curves’,
and then constructs abstract shapes that are not letters. Through this, Yang-Jang explores fundamental form penetrating letters and objects abandoning the
custom of the typeface design accumulated by the repeated experience.

Commotion

Artist

Dianaband

Introduction

Mechanisms such as a router, which can be seen in the subway or public places, are installed in a parasitic manner throughout the exhibition room.
These devices are ‘WIFI sound objects’ that combine a Wireless network(WIFI), a speaker device, and a sound generator.
Spectators can access WIFI sound objects using their own smartphone. Each WIFI sound object which is a sound module signals independently and
associates with the audience. Spectators can interact with WIFI sound objects by turning the sound on and off, adjusting the parameters.
It makes various nature and texture of the sound. The spectators who are temporarily gathered in the exhibition will make the scenery of the sound
with various combinations and form an ensemble.

Informal Doors

Artist

Jangwon Choi

Introduction

The door is the only object allowed to move among the various elements of architecture and a boundary for special moments.
The door sometimes becomes a wall, an opening that is presumed to be closed and has a special ability to contain atypical things like light, wind,
landscape, and movement of people. Through the , Jang-Won Choi constructs a typology by reinterpreting the structural features
of the door and mixing planes and solids in various ways. He uses ‘light and sound’ rather than physically moving door to show ‘open/close/between’.
presents another type of typography that is constantly changing and leaves no trace.

Patch Work

Artist

Paper Press

작품소개

Patchwork is a series of process for creating objects by disassembling images already processed. This recognizes the plane graphic as a piece of material and assigns rules to it. The pieces are rearranged under the influence of the user’s improvisation. is a work that attempts to observe the rules given by micro and instant aesthetics when disassembling graphics that have already been processed in a random manner. When we focus on the act of arranging the graphic pieces outside the existing context, the specific symbol or expression and observe the interactions between the pieces, the spectator experiences unfamiliar scenes
that an unexpected encounter of heterogeneous texture and image gives.

Typography Syntax: Form and Spatial Structure

Artist

Seyoung Lee

Introduction

Seyoung Lee explores the relationship between typography and space with an emphasis on the form of space rather than the material form. She creates an objective framework, a new unit space, for analyzing organizational characteristics of spatial relationships and spatial organization. Within it, Seyoung Lee establishes a topological connection between typography and space and calculate the results of the research quantitatively. Through this, she studies what differences and changes are occurring in the expression of typography and structure of production according to the unit structure of different spaces. It is an attempt to explore the typography in a new way by describing and analyzing the space.

Swiss Pharmaceutical Industry and Typography

Juhyun Kang

Introduction

Swiss graphic design in the 1950s gained fame because the design of Emil Ruder and Armin Hofmann, the new typography of the typography magazine , had commercial success in the advertising industry. The unique rigorous graphic of Basel develope dramatically, through collaboration with the chemical company J.R. Geigy. The well-known advertising style known as ‘Geigy Style’ has been applied not only to the paper advertisement but also to its various pharmaceutical packages. Through this case, Juhyun Kang examines the impact of typography combined with mass-produced products on the industry, and the collaboration between business and typographers.

Obobjects

Filed

Introduction

Objects seem to have an optimized form for each use, but function and form of some objects are changed by personal or social demand over time. In this process, two or more objects are merged together. Filed give these ‘combined objects’ a name that is made of ‘ligature.’ ‘Ligature’ is a combination of two or more letters in the shape of a letter(in the form of a glyph). is a playful exploration about ligatures as transformed objects and letters as objects with attention to the fact that the combination of objects, modification of form and merge of function, has similar characteristics to those of ligatures.

The Letter, the Mask, and Myself

Introduction

The mask of Damian Poulain is not a ‘fake face’. The masks that he and the workshop participants make are their own ‘real faces’. Through masks, they show their thoughts they have in the world and society where they live. Mask is a medium mediating their message. Typography is a medium between words and writing, between content and form. Participants of the workshop collect the symbols and images of this society, make masks converting them into their own way, and talk through masks.

Frontispiece of an Other Space

Introduction

Raphaël Garnier and the participants of the workshop have created a kind of indigenous typography in a way that they have developed by cutting paper. Constructions of outsider art made outdoors by self-taught or marginalized people are called ‘Visionary Environments.’ Participants create their own inner world, and these all gather together to form ‘Visionary Environments.’
