[]

A glitch experiment on text formats. Using FFmpeg, .txt and .pdf files are distorted and reinterpreted as raw video data, corrupting their structure to generate unpredictable visual and typographic noise.

[]

A motion design short project resulting from a one-week workshop held by ffforum. Anthony is a typeface from Velvetyne; the short animation represents the font's main characteristics through the development of a character directly suggested by the name of the font itself.

[]

A one-week workshop reimagining a new layout inside and out, including a new cover and identity for Luther Blissett's book 'Il coniatore.'

[]

More glitching experiments, this time on high- and low-resolution images. File formats are altered and misread, corrupting the image data to produce unpredictable visual distortions.

[]

An experiment with TouchDesigner, exploring real-time generative visuals and interactive motion.

[]

A short booklet retracing the life and career of Jesús Rafael Soto, moving through the key phases of his practice and reconstructing some of his most significant works.
