The argentinian artist Ana Maria Uribe (1944-2004) started out in the 1960’s with creating typoemas — static black-on-white visual compositions rendered using a standard typewriter (a Lettera 22 with a the Pica font).

I am not sure wether this scientific study mentioned in the previous post used the right images. :-)
This applet was originally done for another project than just our blog…
but after all this preparatory “eye work” we thought we could publish it anyways. Please visit also our daytar site.
Scientists in Newcastle found out that images of eyes attached near an “honesty box” in the psychology department’s common room made people more honest. Read the rest of this entry »
