The Aftermath Atlas is presented as a “publishers preview” of a future book written in 2075. It details the startling discovery, made in the early 2070s, that Landsats…
Emergent Typography is an experiment that involves imprinting a conventional 26 character Latin alphabet onto a rule-driven matrix characteristic of cellular automata. The system is then allowed to…
FLOWPATH is a graphical, emergent programming language, inspired by 10 PRINT algorithms, cellular automata, and liquid computing architectures. It has been developed in light of the long history…
Swipe is a meditation on how so-called ‘swipe’ typing represents a mode of contemporary calligraphy. In this mode, the defined letterforms of print are converted into flowing glyphs—evoking…
