This is Bijan Berahimi's Syllabus at Pacific Northwest College of Art. Brijan is a designer in Portland Oregon. He started FISK, a really great studio/open art space/art gallery.

He was taking questions during "Lectures in Quarantine" that SVA students organized in May 2020. "Do you have a personal manifesto when you approach work?" He replied with this syllabus.

Original Xerography - Bruno Munari

I recently came across these works called Original Xerography. Munari used one of the early Xerox machines in 1968 and started experimenting with different dot patterns, intentionally making moiré patterns. I instantly loved these for a number of reasons. One, I have been doing a lot of text stretching with copier machines for a number of posters I’ve made in the last year. It was amazing to see how Munari did similar transformations, but with dot patterns. Another reason I love these pieces was Munari was experimenting with, what was then, cutting edge technology. He used the technology like no one had before him and incorporated it into his practice.
