LATT: Graphology Chapter 3 – Focus on Infographics
Event
M HKA, Antwerpen
24 June 2011 - 14 August 2011
Graphology explored in four episodes the automatisms that may crop up in drawing. The human hand as a seismograph of the inner stirrings, but conversely, the 'unconscious mechanics' of the machine, which imposes itself on the human eye. In what way do graphic reproduction techniques lead a life of their own? A series of exhibitions at the intersection of drawing, photography, printmaking, film and computer graphics.
The third episode reflected on the characteristics of digitised writing: converting letters into electronic signals, the alternating character of the binary structure, but also playing with codes and programs, and the complex networks that may arise from these simple parameters.
With work by, among others, Anna Barham, Peter Beyls, Pol Bury, Santiago Ramon y Cajal, Annie Cattrell, Viking Eggeling, Wim Janssen, Esther Polak, Paul Sharits.
