Typeforce 3 - Neon Sign Installation
A collaborative submission to a typographic based art show. Our concept was called “Turned On” and was about the stimulation and emotion that typography can evoke. We rigged up sensors that faded the levels of the custom illustrated and manufactured neon signs based on the viewers proximity to the sign. The piece got great reactions and had an awesome for the duration of the show.

“What happened?”
“It has to do with alcohol. I haven’t really told the story to anyone.”
“Will you tell me?”
“…well, I’d been drinking everyday for several years. In 2009 I tried to quit. So I stopped drinking for two days, and I got so sick that I couldn’t eat or sleep. But I still decided to try to go to work. I got so weak that I passed out in the BART station while I was waiting for the train. When I woke up, I was paralyzed from the waist down.”
“Oh man.”
“You want to know the sad part?”
“What’s that?”
“I’m still drinking. Because of the loneliness.”

“These movie posters for Pavilion are simply stunning. Caspar Newbolt succeeds brilliantly in “(…) capturing that feeling of the abstract, aimless ennui of what it was to be young, with almost no sense of responsibility at all”. The dreamlike images use transparency to great effect. In his excellent post on the IFP website Caspar somewhat mysteriously reveals that the imagery references Robert Zemeckis’s 1985 film Back to the Future. However he doesn’t want to spoil the details of the film by explaining the exact meaning of the various elements in each design. Seldom have I seen movie collaterals that have such a sensitive, poetic quality yet look perfectly mainstream. I realise I often use this term in a rather derogative way, but in this particular case it’s a compliment.”
