Coliseum with type by Cameron Moll

What began as a 10-year wedding anniversary to Rome concluded a year later as an artistic endeavor to reimagine the Coliseum with type.
In March 2009, Cameron and his wife, Suzanne, spent several days in Rome to celebrate their 10-year anniversary. This was also a chance to observe in detail the Coliseum, which Cameron had already selected as the next subject in his series of letterpress posters.
Over the course of the next 12 months, the artwork was handcrafted character by character, totaling roughly 250 hours of work from start to finish. Characters from the Goudy Trajan and Bembo Pro typefaces form the Coliseum (or Colosseum), also known as today as Colosseo (Italian) and originally known as Amphitheatrum Flavium (Latin).
Additionally, glyphs have been recreated based on the work of master Italian calligrapher M. Giovambattista Palatino, as featured in Libro di M. Giovambattista Palatino Cittadino Romano, published in Rome around 1550 AD.
Each poster is printed on Somerset Velvet Black or Crane Lettra Pearl and letterpressed by Bryce Knudson of Bjørn Press in Provo, Utah, United States.

Graffiti Analysis V3.0

Graffiti Analysis is an extensive ongoing study in the motion of graffiti. Custom software designed for graffiti writers creates visualizations of the often unseen gestures involved in the creation of a tag. Motion data is recorded, analyzed and archived as Graffiti Markup Language (.gml) files, a specifically formatted XML file designed to be a common open structure for archiving gestural graffiti motion data. GML files are saved in an open online database, 000000book.com, where writers can share analytical representations of their hand styles. Graffiti Analysis is an open source project that is available online for free in OSX, Windows and Linux. Graffiti writers are invited to capture and share their own tags, and computer programmers are invited to create new applications and visualizations of the resulting data. Since the launch of Graffiti Analysis, dozens of GML compatible applications have been built and over 10,000 tags have been uploaded to the 000000book database. What Martha Cooper did for archiving graffiti on film, and Chalfant/Silver did for archiving graffiti in video, Graffiti Analysis intends to do for archiving graffiti in code. The project aims to build the world's largest collection of graffiti motion and bring together two seemingly disparate communities that share an interest hacking systems, whether found in code or in the city.


Graffiti Analysis is a project by Evan Roth. All of the software changes in GAv2.0 and GAv3.0 were written by Mzz Chris Sugrue, with support from the Fondation Cartier and Les Grandes Traversees. GA1.0 was created at Parsons Art Media & Technology with input and advising from Zach Lieberman. Graffiti Analysis was built in Open Framewerkz. Other code contributions included in GAv3.0 from: Theo Watson (laser input integration), Kyle McDonald (audio analysis) and ps / TPOLM (.gml RSS system).

Le processus de création est déclinable à l'infini.
Dans la finalisation de ce projet, les motifs seront gaufrés et sérigraphiés.
Voici les six propositions de jaquettes de six étudiants :

Format fermé: 16 x 22,5 cm

Non-Linéaire

Projet autour du son, de la synthèse analogique sonore, des enregistreurs comme le "Nagra", des fréquences,
des formes d'ondes : sinusoïdes, carré, dents de scie, et l'amplitude.
J'ai travaillé à partir de la méthode de langue assimil "le Marseillais".
Notamment sur les mots et expressions que j'emploie ou que j'ai employé dans ma région.
Et qui sont méconnus en région paloise. La notion de l'accent est aussi présente.
J'ai pour cela enregistrer un membre de ma famille à partir d'une liste de mots et de phrases prédéfinies.
J'ai donc constitué ma bibliothèque sonore, ma liste de mots et expressions ainsi que leur traduction.
Voici une affiche explicative sous forme de schéma du projet, puis des planches de recherches d'interfaces possibles :

Voici une série d'affiches qui fonctionne sur le même processus de création et d'assemblage par couche :

Les trois dernières affiches ont été réalisées à partir de photos de Laurent Nivalle, sa série s'intitule "Le Mans classic 2010".
