Serial: A Glitch in the System ✶ 2018
Serial: A Glitch in the System was created in direct response to El Lissitzky’s "Topography of Typography" (1923). In his famed text, the artist & designer predicts the modes by which type would be read and written from that point onward. Ultimately, he posits that “the new book demands the new writer.”
Serial takes the form of eight posters, each standing as both an interpretation and a critique of the eight tenants found in the manifesto. The advent of Lissitzky’s once theoretical ‘ELECTROLIBRARY’ truly came to be, taking form in our modern phones, tablets, and computers. These creations are often solely seen as a feat of human ingenuity; Serial: A Glitch in the System calls such posturing into question. Highlighting the brokenness & detachment that is ever-present within the digital sphere, this poster series unearths issues that wishful Lissitzky could have never foreseen.
