Oh, can I relate.
Real and true experiments have a purpose: they serve research, they are the means to find the truth and lead to evidence and proof. In themselves, experiments are not art.
“The Importance of Tradition”, page 31.
“An ancient metaphor: thought is a thread, and the raconteur is a spinner of yarns — but the true storyteller, the poet, is a weaver.”
My current professor recommended this book to us and I just had to get it! I‘m studying graphic design and typography is definitely not my strong suit. I‘ve never noticed letters as actual art forms before (unless it was blatantly obvious). I tend to just read words rather than focus on their visual form. But I‘m learning to notice and I hope this book helps. #graphicdesignbooks #typographybooks
pickFun book: I jumped around a lot. Along with the romance and nostalgia comments, Polt emphasizes that 20 & 30 year-olds love typewriters for rebellion against today‘s norms, for feeling unplugged. I enjoyed the guides to brands of typewriters and their strengths, & the inroads presented to this and other analog communities (type-ins sound like fun.) I‘ve written untold papers & letters on my typewriter, the clatter redolent of childhood memories.
“Put a computer in front of people and they‘ll probably gravitate to their usual sources of messages, updates, and entertainment. Put a typewriter in front of people and they‘ll want to write from within. The typewriter doesn‘t push ‘content‘ at them; it draws words from them.”
