The Ars Electronica Center presents selected installations having to do with typography, scripts and typefaces, and text as a media of interaction. Projects beyond the boundaries of literature and visual arts designed to 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 (paper 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 universe of the language and the alphabet. Following the end of the Ars Electronica Festival, this theme will be pursued in the fall in a series of theoretical events and presentations.
