VVVVOID CONFERENCE

PROJECT 01/07

SPRING 2017 A.D.

VVVVoid Conference is a conceptual typographic festival based in New York, with the sole purpose of discussing design philosophy on disrepresentative graphic design. It intends to demonstrate how the distinction between form and function will strengthen typographic communication. The festival is based on many exisiting design philosophies from contemporary designers and curated carefully to spread the common idea.

In essence, this philosophy states that rather than limiting typographic communication to the restrictions of function and content, a redirected focus on form manipulation is much more valuable. Eric Hu once said that, "the history of design is not a history of concepts, but a history of form." While content communicates on a cerebral plane, form communicates on a visceral plane. This conference explores these ideas.
