Preceding Emptiness: Alternative Arabic Typographic Technologies
SessionArt Gallery Talks: Transcending Language - Intersecting Art, Language and Technology: A Critical Exploration of Diverse Perspectives - Session 1
DescriptionThe work is the latest light installation in a series that imagines alternative typographic histories by constructing unconventional language-display technologies. It celebrates the formal potential of the Arabic language through bright, blinking words cycling through the segmented display. The words on rotation display the Arabized terms of code statements for Arabic software tools that were first developed by Arab scientists and researchers in the 1980s.
