\"wiggle<\/p>\n

I have linked to a little film<\/a> of an amazing typographic contraption I saw last week in an exhibition by Tom Foulsham called The Table That Can Tell Stories And Other Contraptions<\/em> at Minnie Weisz studio. <\/p>\n

The ‘wiggle table’ (as explained to me by an enthusiastic Minnie and Tom), relies on the user drawing a line on the page. The machine then either takes a live newsfeed from the bbc news website or a person typing in and creates the typography by moving the table under their pen. It takes a bit of getting used to but once you have mastered it the result are both highly experimental and engaging. The live newsfeed in particular creates an almost s\u00e9ance-like experience to the typography as though someone is receiving messages from the another dimension. Tom did a great deal of work investigating the best way to get the letterforms to work, I think it\u2019s a highly original project.<\/p>\n

There is some of his other amazing machines in the exhibition also. So I would recommend if you have chance to go and see it. Details here<\/a> (click on ‘mwstudio’). its in a lovely gothic arch by St. Pancras Station and it finishes on 13th December. Toms web site with further works plus animations of the alphabet is here.<\/a><\/p>\n

They are looking also looking for the machine to tour some places, so if you are interested please contact them at mw@minnieweisz.co.uk<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
