Sensual Power Glyph.Index is an infinite interactive journey through the vast spectrum of Unicode glyphs in Noto Sans and its 96 font variations – the only typeface designed to represent every symbol in every language. Shown at Resonate Festival in Belgrade, Glyph.Index celebrates the global community and its cultural diversity in playful, rhythmical, ever-changing patterns.

Responsive Energy Responsive Energy, the third installation artwork in the series, explores typefaces in context with space, material and light. In a percussive sequence, bold letter shapes define spatial compositions, melt into tactile surfaces, and form out of dynamic generative processes.

The Sound of Taste

"A recently released one-minute video called "The Sound of Taste" gives new meaning to the catchphrase "flavor explosion." This slow-motion video by director Chris Cairns (Grey London) was made as a commercial for a U.K. product called Flavour Shots. Rhythmic pyrotechnics send several colorful tons of black peppercorns, cardamom, turmeric, paprika, cumin seeds, coriander, and more soaring upward in great clouds of spicy fireworks." via

Sculptures by Tamsin van Essen

"British ceramicist Tamsin van Essen is fascinated by what she describes as the “the fragile boundary between attraction and repulsion,” a place where tension is created by the visible and the obscured. For her Erosion series Essen created layered blocks of alternating black and white porcelain which she then sandblasted to mimic biological forms similar to a parasitic virus in the process of devouring a host.

aleph-analog-daria-werbowy1

"Conceived in collaboration with Warren Du Preez and Nick Thornton Jones for Creative Review’s Annual Creative Awards. The capture side of the project was a one day shoot in Holborn studios London with FBFX Digital scanning, Frank Benhamou styling, Rebecca Louise Law creating floral installations, Raphael Salley on hair direction, and Ninni Nummela on makeup. An original music composition by Salvador Breed and Stijn Van Beek took a couple of weeks, as did the editing by Steve Ackroyd at Final Cut London."
