Baskerville

Baskerville On Monday the 22nd of September, after a tremendous response from our call for contributors to participate in the filming of a live lettering event, the Baskerville Project was host to a wonderful range of Lettering Artists and designers.

The contributors were filmed, creating their characters in Fry's Baskerville, in B...irmingham City University's MILO suite at BIAD. The video documentation from the day will be developed into a series of 11 animated films, which form the basis of a large scale HD multi-screen installation at Millenium Point for the Hello Digital Festival.

The artwork is devised for a multi-screen installation of 11 iMacs on plinths arranged in a circle. Each iMac will be showcasing a short animated film, drawing/carving/constructing only one Baskerville letterform, created by a range of leading typographers/illustartors/lettering artists from the uk and beyond (detailed above).

Collectively the installation will spell out BASKERVILLE simultaneously in the round.
