On Plants
Typojanchi 2019: 6th International Typography Biennale
On Plants is a multisensory installation that reimagines language through the interplay of light, sound, and typography. Letters circulate between spaces and non-spaces, forming a continuous landscape that invites viewers to engage in a visual stroll. The installation includes two parts: Type Forest and Variable Type Show. Type Forest brings together nine writing systems—Latin, Cyrillic, Arabic, Thai, Hebrew, Devanagari, Chinese, Kana, and Hangeul—into a typographic environment where scripts coexist beyond cultural boundaries. Variable Type Show presents a motion-graphic film made with adjustable variable fonts, offering a visual and auditory experience to viewers seated on bean bags within the space.

PLANE AND VERTICAL
Founded in 2019, PLANE AND VERTICAL is a design studio and publisher based in Seoul. We have worked with a wide range of materials and technologies – from flat to spatial, from form to context.
We have a deep interest in addressing and responding to the issues of our time through design, publishing, and other creative practices. Our work focuses on identifying and capturing the various potentials of visual language around the intersection of culture, industry, and art. Our practice aims to amplify oppressed voices and reveal overlooked phenomena in our society.

PLANE AND VERTICAL’s secondary brand, Soft Hard is an experimental, multilingual publication that serves as both a newsletter and a creative playground for cultural workers. Each issue invites a wide range of professionals—designers, architects, artists, curators, writers, and independent publishers, among others—from diverse cultural backgrounds. The publication features a loose and non-linear structure, along with a quick turnaround time, in an effort to remain fresh and relevant to our constantly evolving interests and circumstances.
Founded and published by Yuseon Park and Immanuel Yang of PLANE AND VERTICAL. Soft Hard will soon be launching a new form of platform.

Letters and images act as unique organisms, actively broadening the scope of biologically conceivable combinations. Crawling from a decade of data from 2014, 60,152 attributes, each measured within a 10 by 10 pixel grid, were meticulously mapped onto a plane. The DNA embedded within these properties has since evolved, transforming them into unforeseen landscapes.
글자와 이미지는 개별적인 생명체로서 생물학적으로 가능한 조합의 영역을 확장한다. 2014년부터 10년간의 데이터를 바탕으로 크롤링한 가로 세로 10픽셀 크기의 60,152개 속성을 평면에 매핑했다. 시간이 지나면서 이 속성에 내재된 DNA는 다시 진화하여 예기치 못한 새로운 풍경으로 변모하게 된다.
