Demo
Qiuwen Li will showcase various series of work that merges typography, form, color, and language into abstract compositions presented as posters. Across all of her pieces, there is a notable exploration of the interplay between linguistic and visual communication. The demonstration will provide you with deeper insights into her artistic practice by employing an AR tool called Artivive, using tangible examples as illustrations. Artivive (https://artivive.com/), an augmented reality platform for art in her work.
In the artist's own words, "My experimental typography work, I am interested in the space between linguistic and pictorial communication. My work explores the relationships between legibility and illegibility: typographic shape as image. As a designer, I understand the need for legibility, but I am more concerned with communicating something more visceral, expressive, and imaginative. I am influenced by the Global Style in contemporary graphic design, which includes transforming the simple 2D space of the printed graphic into an abstract deep space that seems to extend from the poster to the wall and worlds beyond".
