Examining the transitory, fluid nature of temporal type
Does legibility matter?
When dealing with fluidity in temporal typography, legibility is continually in flux. This means that legibility is a process that occurs (in various measure) as long as the form is mutating. Legibility assumes the viewer of the type is attempting to read, however, temporal type is less focused on readership and more focused on viewership.
Factors of viewership include perception and perspective. Perception is a constant fluctuation of past, present, and future form, requiring a continual rationalization about what is being seen. The perspective or viewpoint determines the angle at which the form is being seen. Due to the transitory nature of temporal typography, the perception and perspective of these forms may also be fluid.
So. The question of the week is whether legibility and readability are contributing factors or simply limitations of temporal typography?

Listening Party + Experimental Sound Performance Poster
I'm taking an Experimental Sound Lab class taught by Chris Kallmyer during my grad studies at CCA this semester. It's been incredible. On Monday, we're hosting a Listening Party & Experimental Sound Performance event, so naturally, a poster needed to be designed.
I've been struggling lately with how my thesis studies can fit back into the world of design, but it seems they may have found a place. Along with my cohort, Margherita Buzzi, I designed a series of posters for the Listening Party event. Thrilling.
Glasses as Momento: An Interactive Experience
The premise:
A pair of old glasses is typically more than just a pair of glasses. Often they contain significant nostalgic value and/or meaning for the owner.
The goal of The Glasses Project is to allow people to relive or experience someone else’s memories tied to a particular pair of frames. The experience encourages participants to satisfy their curiosity into the lives of others — however mundane — while the author can re-experience memories associated with those lenses.
The experience:
The participant selects a pair of glasses to wear (along with a corresponding QR code) and sits down in front of the booth.
Participants wave the QR code in front the screen in the booth, which queues the media / memories associated with those frames.
Participants are encouraged to experience as many different pairs of frames as they want, satisfying the voyeuristic tendencies of our culture today.
Inspired: Jiro Dreams of Sushi
I'm inspired, recharged, and ready to make the world a better place through design (and not the soul-sucking kind).
