TypoFilm #4

The event is over
Digital technology did not invent the practice of reading and writing on the screen. In a totalizing and sometimes unconscious way, new technology has extended and applied processes and practices that originated in typographic strategies and motion picture.
Designed as an investigation inspired by the closeness of objects, the “TypoFilm” project brings together graphic design historians, specialists in artist films and videos, artists and graphic designers in an attempt to retrace the genealogy of typography on the screen and its experimental challenges.
This session will be attended by filmmaker, artist and former archivist of the Anthology Film Archives in New York, Andrew Lampert. Invited to plan an evening based on his projection-performance Sweethearts, dedicated to Emmett Williams (a major figure in concrete poetry in the USA), Lampert proposes a unique journey reflecting on the relationship between words and images, in which technological hybridization and alternative uses of different media and projection surfaces play a central role.
