Skeleton Typogram & Bicycle Typogram by Aaron Kuehn

SKELETON TYPOGRAM by Aaron Kuehn

” Exo… Endo… Typo! Your life, your organ­ism, your soft tis­sues but a pud­dle on the ground, if not for the ancient seg­men­tal struc­ture of the Ver­te­brates. The orig­i­nal hard core is evolv­ing for 400 mil­lion years now. Hominids, like you, are using the lat­est upright tech­nol­ogy orig­i­nat­ing only 4 mil­lion years prior. Here it is, updated, and recon­structed in a 2 dimen­sional sta­tic rep­re­sen­ta­tion of long-stride loco­mo­tion for your screen or paper * ! The com­po­nent bones, ordi­nar­ily con­structed with rigid min­er­al­ized tis­sues, have been entirely typo-grammatically replaced with 676 free and fused glyphs, together form­ing a com­plete skele­tal dia­gram in Latin. A rad­i­cally lit­eral graphic abstrac­tion of anatomy. “

BICYCLE TYPOGRAM by Aaron Kuehn

” Ride…ride…ride. It’s call­ing to you with svelt cir­cles and a promise of adven­ture. But is it a secret soci­ety, those who ride? In a flash of inspi­ra­tion you search online and find the Los Ange­les County Bicy­cle Coali­tion, a pub­lic sup­port group for peo­ple like you who hear the call. You order the 2010 LACBC Bicy­cle Resource Guide for $10, a fas­ci­nat­ing digest of wheel­ing infor­ma­tion for every sit­u­a­tion. At the cen­ter, lay­ing  across a two page spread in black and white, is this typogram. “
