Ficciones Typografika
One of the projects I like on the site is seeing I . It was created for Mark Farid, “a social-artistic experiment that questions how much of the individual is an inherent personality and how large a portion of the individual is a cultural identity. For 24 hours a day for 28 days, artist Mark Farid will wear a Virtual Reality Headset through which he will experience life through another person’s eyes and ears.”
The project is all about being connected online even when we're hiding away. Its about the illusion of companionship without the demand of a relationship, reduced to text rather than talking to one another. These simulations blur between Fiction and reality. Its about being a spectator as well as spectacle, are our identities eroding away? as we've grown up with technology, we assume technology has grown up too. We've become more isolated as technology progress's. The distinction between physical reality and its simulation is blurring and if our consciousness is experienced through the perception of sight and sound and our conception of knowledge. To what extent is it really our own.
This is a topic area I am interested in doing, we rely way too much on technology and we forget what its like to truly be alone.

Typo/Graphic Posters
typo/graphic posters is a platform for inspiration and promotion of good design through the poster culture. Their main focus is exclusively on typographical and graphical posters, especially those that challenge type, colours and shapes to express a message. It is almost a curated gallery with a graphic design point of view. I am always scrolling through these posters as a source of inspiration.
