The typography work (and every piece) by Q Shim is a visual orchestration of parts, wholes, shapes, and textures. He is a professor in the School of Design at CMU, and previously studied around the world. This video, in particular, fascinates me because much of his work brings digital concepts into the physical (non-digital world). He sets parameters, rules, and variables to create his pieces. He then curates those variables to create visually engaging pieces of art and design. Although a lot of his generative art is controlled by computer, in one piece, he creates stamps by hand, then places those stamps along a grid and follows an algorithmic process.
