obx

Obx Labs is interested in living letterforms, massively multi-contributor texts and time-travelling provocateurs. We create artwork that utilizes and motivates the software that we develop and the technologies we repurpose. Our main goal is to provide both the inspiration and the means for others to push the boundaries of computationally-based expression.

Between Reading and Looking

Creative explorations of the intersection between visual, dynamic and interactive form and linguistic content.

Semantics and Computation is a series of creative projects which explore how the forms in which digital text is presented can aid and abet its linguistic message. These projects range from screen-based dynamic poems to large-scale interactive installations. Some of them utilize the NextText library and applications Glyphkicker and TextEngine to create novel text-based interactions, while others use rely on more traditional digital tools for their creation and presentation.
