Print on Screen

2000

The exhibition "Print on Screen" prensents selected installations having to do with typography, scripts and typefaces, and text as a media of interaction.

The projects beyond the boundaries of literature and visual arts investigate interaction as a central artistic strategy. In contrast to, for example, a script materially represented on paper with primarily semantic references independent of the medium bearing them (paer produces not a single word), the reference of a word that appears on the monitor is also the processor; this would even be capable of even making words, texts, and typefaces speak. It is also possible by means of the computer to decouple words from their function as a semantic interface. Many artists share the expectation of proceeding in this way to advance perhaps even more deeply into the univers of the language and the alphabet.
