Great list of 'tables' from @letterformarchive and how they are being used to help teach Type History.

I've always loved the 'tables' idea - we originally came up with it because we wanted a way to give a sense online of the experience of visiting the archive. Those fabulous sessions where the staff would lay out a special table for you, filled with all manner of wondrous artefacts.

@GRC i’m a big fan of Sam Winston’s work - there’s 2 pieces in that post. A book, A Dictionary Story and a print that came with it. There are multiple editions of the book, I have 2 versions - both of which I love - more info https://www.samwinston.com/projects/dictionary-story-book

Ok so not seeing any takers for ThunFursday, so I'll go back to posting #visualLanguage things.

Way before LondON and COPENhagen et al. The brilliant french graphic designer Robert Massin was doing this in Raymond Queneau's Exercices de style (late '70s). #OuLiPo #ConstrainedWriting #typography #typographicPun

Ah, OK so will be adding #visualLanguage to my set as that's the classifier for a lot on @letterformarchive

I received a collection of beautiful posters from type and graphic designer @eWalthert, including his latest which features Emojese. Such a treat — many thanks! 🙏 #Emoji #VisualLanguage https://boldmonday.com/products/posters

On my way to Graphic Matters Breda with @Sabinakipara and Benjamin McMillen.

Bringing some freshly printed posters.

The Palace of Typographic Masonry presents:

Thanks to everyone involved! You’ll get some by post soon.

Excited to share our new #ICLR2023 oral (top 2%) paper!

We study why #VisualLanguage #AI (eg CLIP) acts like bag-of-words + how to fix it.

tldr: contrastive learning issues ➡️ models don't know if "horse is eating grass" or "grass is eating horse" 🤯

'I use this #VisualLanguage as practices to understand and possibly #decolonize an interesting tapestry of identity through my lived experience as a #woman , artist, #Filipina , born and raised in the #Philippines , educated in the West, lived in many places, #multicultural , #transnational, and a new mother (an artist-mother, to be exact),” says Navarroza in her #artist statement.'

If a #picture is worth a thousand words, why do we neglect #VisualLanguage so much? https://fstoppers.com/education/rethinking-photo-composition-what-are-saying-623937?utm_source=FS_RSS&utm_medium=RSS&utm_campaign=Main_RSS #Photography #PhotographicEye #Techniques via ⁦@fstoppers@twitter.com⁩

#SundayArchaeology: How could one not be impressed by the incredible #VisualLanguage of Pre-Pottery #Neolithic #iconography?

"Give me a strong, dangerous #aurochs, horns full frontal. Make it run!" - "And ow about a slain ox? Obviously: tongue out, legs stretched. Totally dead."

As promised, here is another example of what I am calling #visualetymologies - in this case #StanleyKubrick's appropriation of an image created by #DianeArbus - the archetypal ghostly #twins who appear in the hallway in #TheShining (1980). #visuallanguage #film #image #visualanalysis #analysis #imagetheory #culture [Detailed #AltText provided - also - if anyone feels I should have marked these images as sensitive or provided a content warning, please let me know - thanks.]

Baptised by fire: today I tried to create a character illustration using #midjourney
An hour later - I’m going up the wall looking at four-eyed pups or oddly twisted dog-like-mutants. This AI thing makes me doubt my ability to describe shit. #writerscraft #VisualLanguage

From cave paintings to virtual reality, Beware of Images, a film by Sergio Toporek. Including some iconic images and clips it takes us on a fascinating history about the use of images from pre-history through art propaganda and advertising. The film can be streamed free from the Beware of Images site or downloaded for a small charge. https://www.filmsforaction.org/watch/beware-of-images-documentary/ #VisualLanguage #VisualLiteracy #Images #Art #Communication
