Agata created her own typeface inspired by Art Nouveau and mixed the hand made quality of the arts and crafts movement with tropes of Modernist structuralism for the final part of A Window to Reality. This is how it went…

 

BEHIND THE SCENES: THE TYPOGRAPHER

A Window to Reality #006 was from Agata Tomaszek, a graphic design student at DMU and ex intern from Graff.io Arts. Agata's Poetry of Form series deals with Modernism in architecture and typographic form. Since her internship at Graff.io Arts, Agata has developed her interest in typography and married it with Art Nouveaux for an unlikely performance at our Canal House studio for our final project as A window to reality. We are executing six in total from a local artists. We record the performance, it can then be re-watched again in Augmented reality, and using the Graff.io Arts AR app. You can view Agata's work at: The Old Browns, High St, Loughborough LE11 2PZ Find out more - https://graff.io/ar-city
In this case “decoration” became the key word for the whole project. So you could also call it “de-coration” - so getting rid of everything that is core (the rules and the principles) and leaving only the visual elements.
