- Summary:
- "Pond Type transforms the QWERTY keyboard into a hauntingly beautiful musical instrument for digital poetry. Inspired by Brazilian concrete poet Augusto de Campos's "Pulsar," the artists Angela Detanico and Rafael Lain designed a ripple typeface for an exhibition of the poet's work for the Elizabeth Foundation for the Arts. For The Download, they combined the typeface with sound to create an interactive version of Pond Type. After selecting any text or poem, the viewer is instructed to type slowly and wait for each word to vanish before typing the next. By deliberately slowing down the urge to type quickly, the artists delay gratification and encourage careful listening."-- provided by distributor.
