Pierre di Sciullo [moderator]
Artist
France
   

1961 Born in Paris.
1983 - onwards "Qui? Résiste", a collection of manuals he makes alone (10 issues). Around the theme he experiments writing (citations, collage, détournement) and graphic forms, melting texts and images. In this context he began to design typefaces. The Minimum family is designed for the demands of the screen, the Quantange is an orthographico-phonetico-plastic character font, the Basnoda allows to write vertical palindromic sentences, the Sintetik ruthlessly compresses the language. He designs also the Spell me, the Gararaide, the Garadico, the Minuscule, the 3 by 3, the Scratched out, the Cutting out, the Mirror, the Durmou, and so on.
After he has created the Gararond, an irreverent homage to Garamond, he has drawn Aligourane, 5 digital fonts designed for the Tuaregs in their traditional writing system. The aim is to allow the Tuaregs at last to use their own script with modern technologies of the written word, whether the medium be printing or screen-based devices.
He follows on with his graphic research on various media and platforms, books, posters, video, screen work and exhibitions.
