LECTURE - VERA VAN DE SEYP
Graphic designer, MIT Media Lab Boston/Amsterdam
Dutch designer and creative coder, Vera van de Seyp is currently based in Boston (USA), and member of the Future Sketches group at MIT Media Lab. Her exploration of new technologies and digital tools, as well as her unique approach to typography, resonates strongly with the practice of the awardee, Laura Csocsán.

Both question and reinvent the use of digital devices. Rather than just using them as tools, they turn them into instruments. Images and texts are revisited with computational twists, turning the page into a playground for experimentation and creation. Using automation, artificial intelligence and coding, they question our uses of the digital with their reflexions about systems, structures, both elements being at the center of typographic practice and type design drawing, and also an echo of the work of Josef Müller-Brockmann.
