iQ Font design process
Could have used pencil and paper, but this is much more fun.
iQ font – When driving becomes writing / Full making of from wireless on Vimeo.
Two typographers ( Pierre & Damien / www.plmd.me ) and a pro race pilot (Stef van Campenhoudt) collaborated to design a font with a car.
The car movements were tracked using a custom software, designed by interactive artist Zachary Lieberman. ( www.openframeworks.cc )

Hoppers get invaded
Liking Sony Ericsson’s Space Hooper / twitter app.
Send a tweet with the hashtag #pumpt and it will inflate a spacehopper, appear on the projection – viewable via their webcam and if you tell it to flash the red lights… it will flash the red lights.
Or you can try to make pictures appear! :D
5×21 character grid, shame the line spacing is so much on the projected wall
here’s the tweet. First line the application adds
atomicshed : to make up the 21 characters

Dynamic Typeface

LAIKA, a dynamic typeface.
=======================For our bachelor thesis, we engaged ourselfs with dynamic typography, especially with dynamic typefaces. Since not much work has been done in this field, we devised a system in which a typeface would not be defined static fonty styles anymore but would be able to change it‘s shape and appearance at any moment reacting to a broad spectrum of inputs.
