Fusion of Forms, 2024
Exhibition Design/ Experimental Design/Billingual Typography
Designer: Xinyuan(Caesar) Li
Sound Edit: Benjamin Woods
3D Clock Demo: Zhen Xiong
Special thanks to the support from Run Artist Run
Presented as an immersive projection installation for Melbourne Design Week 2024, this experimental typography project explores innovative possibilities in bilingual typography using modern technologies. It features dynamic visuals and interactive elements that demonstrate the fusion of two different typographic systems, blending Latin letters with the intricate strokes of Chinese characters. Through the deconstruction and integration of elements from both languages, Fusion of Forms emphasises rich cultural interactions and the power of typography to bridge language barriers, while also encouraging audiences to reflect on their own linguistic experiences, promoting dialogue and understanding in bilingual and multicultural settings.
By integrating deconstructed Chinese characters with Latin letters, Fusion of Forms pushes the boundaries of bilingual typography and seeks to unlock the characters' pictorial potential. The fusion of elements from both Chinese and English languages underscores the universality of certain experiences, such as time and weather, encouraging audiences to reflect on their own experiences. Through motion design and projection mapping, the project takes the audience on an immersive journey. This innovative approach not only showcases the convergence of cultural narratives, but also highlights the power of modern design in bridging the gap between two languages, facilitating deeper connections and understandings.
