    A Jagged Orbit

    “If we can teach our machines to remember, then we can also teach them to forget.” —Donnachie and Simionato, 2024. For inScript 2024 we will discuss A Jagged Orbit (2023–ongoing), an automated-art-system which explores the computational equivalent of daydreaming. Through our system we can speculate on the benefits of designing so-called ‘intelligent’ machines with the capacity for ‘mind wandering’ and other forms of abstraction.

    Andy Simionato + Karen Ann Donnachie

    Donnachie and Simionato are an artist duo who have worked exclusively together in the expanded fields of computational art and design for over 30 years. They produce custom-built automated-art-systems, driven by A.I. and machine-learning, in order to uncover and explore new feelings in an age of computational transcendence. Their work is concerned with the shared futures of language, literature, and emerging technologies. They have won the highest international awards and critical recognition in their fields, with work exhibited internationally and featured in a number of major publications and international press.

    Typeface for Unity

    Since their invention, typefaces have been used in books, art, and design to convey information and impressions. However, I believe they hold even greater possibilities. Typefaces can connect people who have never been connected before. In this talk, I will explore how typefaces can unite people with different perspectives. We will focus on "Braille Neue," a typeface that integrates Braille and existing characters, demonstrating how design can bridge diverse communities.

    The Guide to Be Seen

    As a type designer whose job is basically making useful forms, I’m obsessed with shapes that were created for non-human gaze or machine scan process: Aerial photo calibrations targets, television test patterns, optical code like QR or barcode. A homage to Hito Steyerl’s film “How Not To Be Seen” (and actually pushing the thoughts into the opposite side), This talk unfolds my most recent body of studies around the idea of “augmented type”, including my type and image making process, and some prompts that expand into screen-based mediums.

    Cooking in the Darkroom

    I was never much of a cook even though the social language of my region is food. However, I discovered that a darkroom could provide a space for making type feasts. One of the collaborative projects that nudged me in this direction was the making of a children's book for local arts and education partners. In this project, my colleague and I used play and experimentation to explore and push boundaries of traditional photogram making. Our portable ‘fridge’ consisted of honey, lemon pulp, corn syrup, ice, soap foam, ink, and other fun ingredients. The very crude limitations of the mechanics behind photograms inspired a creative journey of curiosity and exploration. This traditional craft suddenly became a tool for making and baking type. I am humbled by the opportunity to share this process with the Inscript community.

    Irma Puškarević

    Irma Puškarević works at the intersection of practice and education. She explores the relationship between languages and alphabets through experimental typography. Working as a lead photographer for Exit Festival during its formative resistance-bound years set her on a path of chance taking and empowerment through spontaneity and collaborative workspaces.

    HARBER

    Benoît Bodhuin usually starts with lowercase letters when designing a font family. Not this time. He started with the capital letters H, A, R, B and E and thus had a name for the font straight away. HARBER is a font designed on a dot grid in which each letter is unchanging, only the dots move and grow. These changes are determined by five axes: weight, slant, volume, noise and optical size.

    Benoît Bodhuin

    Benoît Bodhuin creates work protocols, plays with self-imposed constraints and invents rules of conduct. He plays with modular elements, construction processes and design logic to invent adventurous and generous, moving and joyful typographic forms.
