Pop-in at the
French Library
and step into a photo booth for poetry!
Adjust the stool, create a typo-poem and wait as
it is printed for you. This is the Typomatic,
a literary installation created in
collaboration between members of the French
performance art group
ALIS and
the interactive design studio
Buzzing Light.
The poetry is based on the Poésie à 2 mi-mots
technique invented by Pierre Fourny that
plays with the shapes of letters: words
are cut in two horizontally and reversed so that
a new word emerges from the original
word. Watch how it works
here.
Other word-related workshops and games
will be available during the evening. |
