Digital Craft from Steven Wiggins on Vimeo.
Long exposures of a hacked computer monitor turned oscilloscope. Each wave form corresponds to the opposing typeface being printed through a desktop printer. The waveforms reveal the craft within printers mechanism and the digital file being converted from coded frequencey modulation to atoms of ink and paper.
Each typeface corresponds to a “epoch” in the development of visual communication, from hand rendered, to the printed word, to Roman serif and finally to digital type which through electronic circuitry has encompassed all prior modes of communication and turned our world into a “global village”. In this global village all of our central nervous systems are linked through the common language of frequency modulation, which both communication structures in man and machines operate.
