Transartists

The Amsterdam based foundation Transartists maintains a massive database for artists. Artists can inquire about scholarships, grants, subsidies, places to work, studio spaces and exchange programs.

We wanted to reflect this collection side of Transartists work in a playful typographic machine. The boxes of random typography symbolise records in a database: chaos contained in a structure. These illustrations are generated by a machine, and picked by a designer. The typography and colors bring back memories of Dutch master typographers as Zwart and Kiljan, yet the random careless configuration puts the design back into place -- it was done by a robot with a heart.

Together with Hannes Famira, LettError worked on the design of the Transartists website.
