No.10 of the TYPEWRITTEN series: Dioram by Kevin Stebner.

This book contains 20 typewriter drawings and a printer’s summary.

“Dioram as a collection seeks to explore a type of model making, juxtaposing structural playsets with impossible objects. Still focused on my preoccupation with stereopsis and dimensional exploration seeking to find ways of delving into the z-plane through the rise and yaw in the page in playful planar forms. The forms and patterns in this collection seeks to give the reader an almost distant and benevolent observer POV over a force of potential constructions. ”

The magazine is printed with a mimeograph duplicator Gestetner 320 on old typewriter paper made in GDR. Because of the pandemic lockdown, I don’t have access to the Risograph to make the masters - so I had to do them with an electronic cutter, an old fax, and a pocket jet printer in my home studio.

No.9 of the TYPEWRITTEN series: Coronavirus Genome (Monolith) by Tom Phillips.

This book contains the complete typewritten Coronavirus genome (29,903 characters), two statements of the author and a printer’s summary.

“Completed at the start of the lockdown associated with the Coronavirus outbreak in the UK this piece is a meditation, a study in repetition, the starkness of data, the search for patterns, for meaning. “ … “‚Monolith’ is a representation of a point in time. It is a base, a marker, a touchstone around which our changing understanding, our shifting response, our renewed and altered outlooks for the future revolve. It is our response to this virus that matters and will be remembered, as it is that which we ultimately have control over. Our actions hold lasting effect. The virus is a technicality.”

No.8 of the TYPEWRITTEN series: Passages by Ilse Garnier.

This book contains 18 typewriter drawings, an introduction by Eugen Gomringer and a printer’s summary.

“… But the vowel, to which our undivided interest is focused here, becomes particularly significant in the sequence of »Passages« (also 1981), which find a good translation in the German word »Übergänge« (transitions). For here we are dealing with transitions, sheet after sheet, from »nuit« to »lumiére« and also vice versa: from night to light, from light to night. The lyrical play is unfortunately not possible in German. Ilse Garnier connects the two words with the »i« and – more than that – creates the transition from night to light in several variations. She makes use of the straight ray that arrows the »i« from one position to the other, the closed circle that places the »i« in a circle, and the large open circle that makes the »i« all the more »spatial poetic«. …” (Eugen Gomringer, 2002)

No.7 of the TYPEWRITTEN series: Clouds by Sébastien Hildebrand.

This book contains 8 typewriter drawings, a poem by Anthony Etherin, and some overprinted printer’s summaries.

“Pareidolia is a conversion of retinal information into recognisable objects for the brain. Today most of our data is stored in ‘intangible’ virtual clouds. The typed series “Clouds” tries to reproduce the physical and temporal existence of these data, here symbolised by the sign Ampersand “&”, which is widely used in computer coding. The series invites everyone to search in these clouds for an image of their vaporised data, with more or less effort.” (Sébastien Hildebrand)

No.6 of the TYPEWRITTEN series: RSI by CDN Warren.

This book contains 18 typewriter drawings, and a printer’s summary page.

“Each of the works that comprise RSI are a quiet thank you to the machine on which they were made. They simply could not have been produced by any other means. They have all been made using a single ribbon and an Olivetti Roma, with the later works becoming what they are by the inevitable running-out of ink on the reel or the slow degradation of the typeface through countless hours of repeated use. Produced in Beijing in 2017, the work in RSI contains surprises and frustrations that weren’t at all intended when the idea was conceived and have within them a playful sense of movement designed to confound the static nature of the machine from which they came. The Olivetti and I have produced much work since RSI, but it is this collection of which I am most fond.” (CDN Warren)

No.4 of the TYPEWRITTEN series: Typing (Not Writing) by Marianne Holm Hansen.

This book contains 21 typings, and a printer’s summary page.

Marianne’ statement: “TYPING (Not Writing) is an evolving series of typewritten notes: immediate, responsive, repetitive and [perhaps, somewhat] materialising a futile but doggedly persistent desire to pin down [or pindown], define, know, hold in place, and/ or identify literal meaning and exact expression, even when, or especially when, none exists.”
