TYPE  +  CODE VII : Typographic selfie + code

A selfie is a self-portrait digital photograph that one has taken of oneself, typically taken with a smartphone or web camera and shared by social media. The typographic selfie + CODE is an extension of Selfie + CODE, which is a collection of generative selfies taken by the author to raise awareness of Asian female faculty being isolated and marginal in a predominantly white institution of the United States. The computational processes expend the concepts of traditional self-portraits to generative visual languages conveying specific thoughts or feelings. Typography is a form of art to make written language expressive by using letter forms and text. Based on the type choices, different emotions and moods can be visually expressed through the generative selfies. The typographic selfie + CODE is visual research with diverse typefaces to embed visual expression into generative selfies.
