Dynamic and interactive typography in digital art

摘要

The objective of this investigation was to produce a work that demonstrates the potential of typography as a subject matter for a contemporary artistic discourse by exploiting the dynamism and interactivity of digital typography. This paper describes the process of the conceptual development and implementation of an interactive multimedia installation based on the history of writing and typography. The main aspects of the methodology that inspired the building of an installation are emphasised and it is argued that in arts, technology is meant to serve a concept and poetics, not the opposite way round.
