fonty baby

Well interesting chat today with Yoke or Zoom depending on which Idenitity he was taking today, it was good that we were in a small group and were able to discuss our work and ideas together with Alex who was able to look from an outside point of view, I discussed the captcha idea which seemed to go down well, I have to find somewhere to put my work and that is the high priotity over the christmas break. I also want to design the font or find one close enough to distort on photoshop so it looks more captcha like, and also copyright my idea( to be disscussed with Alex) before people steal it !

So even though its a break from college ... work will continue.. we also have the wintershow to think about aswell,  over the holiday. It was so daunting last year, it seems such a long time ago now. How things change :-)

textwork

Thinking back to last year, we had a sound poet come to see us, I didnt really like what he personally did but I loved the way the poems were written, the bits of paper were art in themselves, the way the letters flowed and grew in size as the words or sounds got stronger in velocity, he also used symbols arrows and lines to express how the sounds were made. I dont want to be a sound poet but I do feel the need to use the way of writing. The book House of Leaves used a wonderful way of using the text to add to the story, having it printed in blocks or going down the page rather than across. I feel I could use this to work along side the captchas.

thoughts on text

thoughts on text... today hasnt been a great work day, I am having thoughts about how different fonts may effect how things are read. does a spikey looking font make things look more vicous than curly ones? I shall be experimenting this eve after finishing my knitting :D
