Abstract (in English)

BioMorphic Typography is a new conception of writing and a morphing typeface driven by biofeedback. It enables users to become aware of their autonomic physiological functions while they type, in real-time. In doing so, BioMorphic Typography seeks to challenge longstanding Western notions about the relationship among the senses, representation, and technology.

Abstract (in English)

The conception and realisation of computerised poetry is based on a computer’s inherent qualities and characteristics. Resulting works are hybrid, multimedia and interactive texts comprising typeface, image and sound; they can neither be printed on paper nor viewed without a computer, or to be more precise, an electronic apparatus (holography, monitor, virtual reality). This study explores the historical origins of electronic poetry and, on the basis of the switch from paper to computer, analyses the significance these fundamental shifts have had on the aesthetic interaction of language and text: Typeface starts to move and in this way challenges the poetic production and our perception.
