Digital Art Live is please to present the interactive exhibition Typeface by the artist Vaimaila Urale and the developer Johann Nortje.

Typeface merges the concept of ASCII art* with interactive technology and contemporary Polynesian mark making.

Vaimaila Urale takes her inspiration from traditional Samoan art forms of Tatau (tattoo) and Tapa (bark cloth) and has created a unique set of digital patterns using basic keyboard characters, motifs and symbols such as > / <.

Working in collaboration with digital media artist Johann Nortje, Urale designed a work where the viewer’s physical movements activate unique layers of patterning. People’s reflections in front of the Digital Art Live screen become embedded with Urale’s vibrant Pacific influenced patterns.

*ASCII art is an early computer image making technique using keyboard characters to form pictures.
