PUSH TO THE LIMIT

Thinking finitude differently and anew is a constant debate in science and philosophy. For Hegel, for example, finitude is not excluded but integrated into the absolute; for Heidegger, finitude is not subordinated but raised to the standard of thinking.

In design, many things seem finite. Yet, there is a constant strive to break down the limits of finiteness. Designers constantly push the limits. When the boundary of learned symbolisms is crossed, new codes emerge. Close to impossible to grasp for the untrained, but for sure a trigger of stimuli for others.

In fact, we are not interested in the answer to the question “Can we call them letters?.”

305——Ho Ting-An——TWN——ISLAND INVISIBLE Island Invisible is intended to insinuate Taiwan’s status in the international community, which is in a time of uncertainty. The artist used island and Invisible as visual elements to arrange the text into flattened islands and waves to create this image: “In an ocean of text, A lonely island that is always floating, even though it is vaguely visible.”

330—Dafi Kühne—CHE—WTF

A vibrating composition of dizzyness. WTF? Letterpress printed from hand-cut linoleum.

This poster was created for the concert of the Swiss band Prinz Kamal Khan at the Neubad Klub in Lucerne, Switzerland. The poster visualizes their wide and experimental soundscapes somewhere in-between Jazz, Psychedelic Rock, and Techno.

This poster is expressing a sci-fi theme by combining images of a vibrating bird, handwritten letters, and applying food characteristics to letters.

353——Lilli who are you? you you don’t feel yourself? is it because you are pretending to be someone else?

The font was inspired by the zodiac sign Virgo. Intricate, multilayered shapes smoothly flow into one another.
