ATYPI HELSINKI CALL FOR PAPERS - DEADLINE EXTENDED TO APRIL 14
31.03.2005 News
West New York (United States) - ON THE EDGE: This is type on the northern edge of Europe and the edge of the Baltic Sea; type of the Nordic and Baltic cultures and languages. This is type on the forward edge of technology: type on television screens; type embedded in telephones; type circling around the world. This is type on the edge of a global culture: type as a medium of change and also of preservation; type as a carrier of cultures. And this is type on the edge of design: type as form and content; type as an idea, and type as an activity.
The Board of Directors of ATypI is proud to note that the ATypI Conferences are sponsored by many of the leading companies in the graphic arts and computer business. Early sponsorship for Helsinki comes from the Microsoft Corporation.
Keynote: The keynote speaker for ON THE EDGE is Aaron Marcus is President of Aaron Marcus and Associates, Inc., a leading user-interface design and information-visualization firm. AM+A's clients include BMW, DaimlerChrysler, Motorola, Nokia, Samsung, Siemens, the US Federal Reserve Bank, and Visa. Mr. Marcus is a graduate in physics from Princeton University and in graphic design from Yale University. The title of the keynote is User Interfaces and Visible Languages: Culture, Signs, and Devices. User interfaces present facts, concepts, and emotions to people around the world across all devices, content, and contexts. What are the visible language design issues? How does culture affect visible language display? Can there be a universal visible language? The lecture explores issues of the future based on Mr. Marcus forty years of professional experience in combining graphic design and computer graphics.
The ATypI 2005 programme planning committee invites submissions of abstracts for presentations on any theme related to type and typography 'on the edge'; novel interpretations are welcome.
