Dakadaka
Typing can be thought of as a percussive spatial action – a play of tiny thoughts scattered onto a tightly organized grid. Typing is also a kind of speech, spoken through the fingers with flashing rhythms and continuous gestures. Dakadaka is an interactive java applet that explores these two ideas by combining positional typographic systems with an abstract dynamic display.
One can understand Dakadaka as a prototype for an ambient display which could augment one´s ordinary typing as an auxiliary, transparent layer in an attempt to infuse typography with the fleeting dynamics of speech. Alternatively, Dakadaka is an experience in its own right, re-framing the act of typing at a computer keyboard as a visual exploration.
