Glyph by depart

Fascinating work by depart (Leon­hard Lass and Gre­gor Laden­hauf) recently featured in “Design made in Austria”.

Glyph is a projection sculpture with references to ritual monuments such as obelisks or stelas. It deals with cyclic change and constantly regenerates itself. An alphabet based on fundamental geometric shapes (rectangle, circle and triangle) acts as a communication device as well as a pure aesthetic element. All texts displayed are permanently evolving and restructured based on linguistic rules.
The installation runs in realtime — the video shows a random segment recorded at schmiede 2011.
