This work is part of a thesis project on computational script. Beyond the hype of Helvetica I want to profile type and text in the relatively young era of digital font. So I picked the impact of the transition of the alphabet and script from physical objects to software as the central theme. The focus is on contemporary trends in design, communication, tools and media. The type experiments are primarily realized through writing in programming language. They are based on the shapes of a font designed and realized especially for the project and produce two-, three- and four-dimensional vector graphics and tools.
The outcome of this work was a lab-like documentation and visualization in form of realized prototypes and installations. I intend to make digital script an issue - how aesthetics and transformations that are based on script (code) affect or reflect on script and I want to picture the potentiality of code for aesthetic and conceptual means rather than deny the tool and the characteristics of the medium.
