SMS-Type

2001 – 2010 | 👉 Free project

If you follow the movements of a person’s fingers as they type an SMS on a mobile device and connect these coordinates, a hieroglyph is created. This hieroglyph can later be decoded back into the typed text independently of a keyboard. Various experimental arrangements featuring different hieroglyphs have been exhibited and published internationally.

Exhibited at the Westfälischer Kunstverein, Kunstverein Cuxhaven, and La Panacée in Montpellier, France. Published in DIE ZEIT and in Blue Lines, the executive magazine by HP.
