Sylvan Lanz – Voicewriter

Voicewriter: Typographic speech visualization tool using a voice-recognition software Voicewriter is a project about the visualization of speech through the written language and its typographic dimensions. It consists of an interactive web tool coupled with a specifically developed scalable typeface. Thanks to voice recognition, this tool creates typographical compositions according to voice variations in intonation, rhythm and pitch.

Diego Steiner – Hybrid Modules

by Diego Steiner

Hybrid Modules explores the link between traditional craftsmanship and contemporary technologies through the creation of a 3D-printed modular typographic tool for use with a manual letterpress. Designed on a grid, the modular alphabet becomes a set of physical dies, which can be inserted by hand into the press. The slow, repetitive process becomes an integral part of the visual language, making visible the time and care of the gesture. A series of A2 posters promotes a series of fictitious conferences entitled “ART, CRAFT & TECHNOLOGY - Guests in Switzerland”.
