New ideas don’t require new technologies. Sometimes it’s even easier to be progressive with old tools. KYBDslöjd represents a way of expanded typing, a skill to materialize text characters beyond the screen. It refers to the typewriter, Concrete Poetry, Demoscene, and Brutalism and employs the so-called obsolete technology like Typewriter, Commodore 64, Teletext, or fax. The future is typed.
You will explore new ways of expression in unique media environments at the intersection of text, computers, and graphics. You will understand how these tools can help to develop new procedures, ideas, and motivations.
