1.Printopia – The vinyl record. In the year 2021, Tipos en su Tinta were offered an artist residency at the Fine Art Museum of Tenerife. At about the same time the experimental musician Ernst Surberg visited their workshop and got inspired by the sounds and interacting movements of the ‘bodies’: machines and humans. Recordings of the activity became musical material, that again was manipulated and performed live together with musician Esther Ropón at the closure event of the exhibition. The cover and poster illustration were created by printing an obsolete hard drive and other discarded objects from modern living, making reference to the unique mixture of mechanical sounds from the workshop and their modulations with the synthesizer, but also to emphasize the continuous long life of the letterpress printing technique - link

1. ‘Take a tour of my collection: vintage typewriters’, by Dr Vaibhav Singh, University of Reading (UK). Did you know that the idea of the keyboard itself is a legacy of a very different era of the communications. Before it took its current form, the keyboard was literally a musical instrument adapted to the letters of the alphabet. Have you ever wondered why we use a ‘keyboard’ for typing? What do typewriters without a keyboard look like? Vaibhav Singh takes us on a tour of his collection of vintage typewriters, exploring how we have thought about text and technology, how the keyboard we use today has been one of many alternatives and how the processes and tools for writing have been adapted, modified and challenged.
