Teresa without being a writer in the traditional sense of the word is a woman of letters everything to do things contrary to the letter has been devoted to trigger processes from the typographical work. Teresa says, he wants to test the hypothesis that three-dimensional approach from a font family, can provide a method of work that gives life to a family of utilitarian objects. Just as each letter evokes in its being a sound, T (as she is represented) in these objects and aspirations of being that are given by their own formal complaints that they are built. The development and current research, says T, is the beginning of a search for new ways to design that take into account the relationship between objects and communication. T is interested in a design that is guaranteed himself as communication process, to be inspired by the smallest units of communication history. The words and the alphabet. Key elements in the formation of historical cultures.
Barthes tells us that culture influences the representation of history and vice versa, plus the loss of meaning is inherent in any representation of history or culture, because it involved the signs of language. The story loses its objectivity at the very moment of writing, and T, create items you can find two historical levels of multiple readings: their role as founder of a world and the role of its objects.
I would say that the former is not under its own character, which does things to the letter but produces new combinations of signs (combination of a sound or image found foreshadowed by its history and previous uses) in the manner of Levi-Strauss bricoleuse without necessarily changing their nature, but if its nonsense, T disarms the signs, to generate a process of multiple combinations and multiple readings. This form of communication brings its own ideological forms of the time we live. Mainstreaming, hybrid, multi-directionality, etc..
T In the second level reads and writes a story of modern times. The story is a text and its objects are doubly texts in their literal and their usefulness. T does not document reality but produces the intelligible. Barthes said that the texts and images of history, are strongly influenced of ideology and rhetorical techniques of the investigator. T makes a kind of discourse that produces a text, but does not facilitate the representation of reality.
This process of converting the letter in a utilitarian object brings a dual communicative purpose that transcends the primary communication function of the letter and makes things that are good for something more meaningful to translate sounds. Where does that letter and where you are the processes that orchestrate T is interested in improvisation if you like jazz that makes the letter. The image speaks but not quite as their total membership is composed of much smaller parts that articulate different levels of meaning as the eye focus.
Barthes said in the spirit of the letter that the word is not the only environment, the only result, the only significance of the letter and of course they serve to form words, but also serve to make other things. What things? Let's ask T.
