Mutatio - a natural alphabet

Abstract

The alphabet(s) and, consequently, typefaces, written messages and texts are still mostly used and visualised on a two-dimensional plane, communicating in a static way and without volume. We consider it pertinent to explore new ways of increasing the capacity for non-verbal communication, facilitating reader-user empathy, using three-dimensionality and the movement of the elements that make it up. This article corresponds to a first moment in the dissemination of a master’s degree project in Design. The digital artefact Mutatio explores and intersects Design, Nature and Art, using Augmented Reality and Artificial Intelligence to communicate dynamic messages through natural and organic elements.
