As Far As The Mind Can See
By exploring typography in a unconventional way and challenging the limits of legibility and perception through optical illusions, this workshop intends to focus on the key issues of anamorphic typography, by projecting an image at various surfaces in different spatial locations, in order to produce an interactive visual feature, where typography shifts and morphs as the viewer walks around the space. Angular is a project that seeks to understand typography as a living organism, capable of transforming a place and to endow it with new interpretations and dialogue with the public, challenging the line between two-dimensional and three-dimensional spaces.

Angular was an event selected for the Experimenta Design Biennial EXD’15, coordinated by ELEEA and co-organized with ESAD Matosinhos.
