Exploring collaboration, scale, contrast and collective authorship with 50 Graphic Design students, who used their collective critical mass and the large open-space architecture of the University of Ravensbourne (London, UK) to compose human letterforms visible from four stories above.
Participants wore white paper coveralls to create strong contrast against the dark floor and worked collaboratively in rotating groups. From four stories above, each team used FaceTime to art-direct the others below, transforming bodies into typographic “pixels” and experimenting with different approaches to collective image-making. Some explored high-contrast static compositions, others used long-exposure photography to reveal motion-blurred letterforms invisible to the naked eye, while another group devised a choreographed human chain capable of fluidly transitioning from one letterform to the next.
