"As far back as I can
recall,
art has been a vital part
of my life"
"...typographie und architektur
sind die beherrschenden
erscheinungen
menschlicher schöpfung."
With the manifest of the movable characters Michael Mahla
wrote, ahead of his time, about the integration of movement
into the viewing of writing. A visual utopie, in which the dynamic
of typography portraits an optical sensation, which may appear
today trivial. He foresaw the end of the development of Roman
characters disappearing from the Monitor and invented the
word "Typokinetic". With full conscience the "kinetic
typography" wants to rebuke the Computer in the field of a
flatworld, where the writing moves in the sense of the word, in
the sense of a statement where a new age starts...." and as a
hommage to Johannes Gutenberg: Who moves the writing,
moves the world"
