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.

We have a deep interest in addressing and responding to the issues of our time through design, publishing, and other creative practices.

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.

MORE Translate Real Estate
Translate Real Estate will begin by selecting two locations in different cities, New Haven and Brooklyn or others, each week. Then, we record for 1 minute to capture and embrace the atmosphere and soundscape of the location. The recordings are documented and generated from our daily lives, such as a busy street, a park, a school, or a restaurant, through our movement and travel. Once the recordings are made, we exchange them with only the metadata of the sounds. And we visualize the sounds by creating videos without any location information. We, both designers, communicated with these sounds every week, and eventually, we collected 70 sounds with 70 videos.

Translate Real Estate explores the communication between the creators of location-based sounds and how to reconstruct scenes without visible information. What we find evocative about sound is the way it leads us to create an image in our mind. So all the information in the sound is very complex and rich, and we immediately intuitively create images of what we hear, even if we do not provide exact details. These elements work in synergy; we encounter a completely different reality.
