:: BENOIT LEMOINE

Benoit Lemoine is a French designer. I came across his work in a book called Data Flow and thought it was really quirky and inspirational and wanted to check out more of his work, not just that featured in the book.

Code Typographique
A cipher is transmuted to an alphabet. The outline of a font is traced using wool. The lengths of wool are then displayed as a new alphabet, creating a typographic, machine readable code based on distances and proportions.
Very clever idea....so simple, yet so complicated....

Corps Typographique
The human body is shown as an ambiguous code. A series of posters that address a particular theme, explained through a little scene. One image per letter.
I don't quite get this one, go to the website to understand it more...cos it's confused me. But still, it looks good!
