Keetra Dean Dixon: A Little Knowledge and Other Minor Daredeviling

Walking us through her widely diverse array of works, Keetra Dean Dixon delighted and inspired her TYPO audience today. Initially showing some of her past work, her inquisitive nature immediately became evident through her thoughtful, experimental, and sincerely absurd projects, such as The Anonymous Hugging Wall and her Union Sleeve. Keetra then broke up the rest of her presentation into parts titled Thinking Through Making and Making Through Breaking.

Christoph Niemann: That’s is Where I Draw the Line

Christoph Niemann started out his talk on a lovely visual play on how we input our passwords. It was a delightful illustration in a type of wit that only Christoph Niemann seems to possess. So how does he do it? For his talk he began by diving into his process and the life of an illustrator. According to him, it turns out the majority of the day is spent in agony with pockets of joy in getting the initial idea and invoicing.

Ursus Wehrli Tidies Up Art

Almost immediately into his lecture, The Art of Clean Up, it becomes very clear that Ursus Wehrli has an obsession … with tidying up. And I don’t mean the run-of-the-mill tidying up that you might frantically do to your living room before guests show up. I mean tidying up in a unique, calculated way performed by Ursus Wehrli, that includes complete scrutinization, deconstruction and reorganization.

This One Goes to Eleven by Jessi Arrington

Jessi is looking as stunning as she is excited and enthusiastic for her talk! She has embraced her enthusiasm. She owns a design studio, Workshop, with her husband. We begin today by watching a video about an amplifier that takes you from 10 to 11. She shares that Orbicular Oculi is a muscle that involuntarily contracts when you have enthusiasm. And she has her enthusiasm level at 11. She has a colorful personality and uses rainbow colors in everything she is and does. We watch another fun video of her participating in a rainbow parade!

Morag Myerscough: A talk about places…

Places to grow with, places to experience, places to love. Ultimately, places that tell a story. Morag Myerscough’s talk takes us on a fast paced journey through her colourful work. And life. Perhaps the two are now very much intertwined, as she explains a revaluation of principles after she met Luke Morgan, Elvis fan and long term collaborator.  “If life is about enjoying yourself, and if your work is your life, than the projects you embark on should follow those same values.”
