Laurie Anderson - Big Science (1982)
Typographic Expression Project

This project is a typographic expression of Laurie Anderson’s songs in her Big Science album (1982). Taking the form of a puzzle set, now consisting of 6 transparent cubes, I closely interpret her lyrics of Let X=X and O Superman. The sides can line up and be arranged in various ways without one right answer, as I experimented with transparency, communicating dialogue between the 2 opposite sides, and the quality of floating texts and echoing sound in digital space, while showcasing the playfulness of Andersons music. As the theme of this album is about technology while performing in a robotic manner, I included a handwritten but pixelated typeface (x and o) and a type face traced from AI generated images that is trained from a dataset of my art (letter o).

Materials: 6 x 4.75”^3 acrylic cubes, Vinyl cut stickers (Metallic), Clear adhesive latex print.
