Blur+Sharpen: The Pleasures of Text
Blur + Sharpen returns with a show of text-based videos that showcase the power of designed typography. Highlights include Dutch graphic artist Mieke Gerritzen’s acclaimed Beautiful World, a confrontational exploration of visual signs, codes and slogans that questions globalization and consumer identity in a fast-paced moving graphics extravaganza. We’ll also screen a pair of jazzy, Web-based pieces by the Korean collective Young-Hae Chang Heavy Industries, the ASCII vision of Beck by Associates in Science and other shorts and music videos. Complete program is here.
The show will begin immediately after Simon Penny's 511 presentation on September 27 at 8:00PM in the Ron Howard Screening Room, Zemeckis Center, 3131 South Figueroa - Free and open to the public!
