Typeface film

THURSDAY 29th JULY

Inc (Independent Northern Creative) in association with L&K Creative are very proud to present 'Typeface - the film' in Yorkshire, for the first time.

'Typeface' shows the reality of the digital age as it challenges master craftsmen in their environment, this film opens up a very real life portrayal of the effects, changes and fight for survival in an age of throw-away creativity.

From the onset, it clearly shows a passion for creative skills, showcasing a place where international artists and retired craftsmen remain true to their heritage, but for how long and what can be lost? The historical and contemporary approaches in rural and urban America, combined with passion and logic makes for a fascinating film.

• Doors open 6.30pm for 7.15pm showing
• Globe Quay, Leeds, LS11 5QG (a stones thorw away from the Round Foundry)
• Tickets: £5 on the door (limited availability) or book early at http://www.independentnortherncreative.org/
• Supported by Team Impression & Fedrigoni

Digital Words

'We offer a way to visualize our words and emotions in a permanent work of art so that it may act as a continuous reminder to us and to others of what is important. Our developed technique offers you the ability to capture your specific voice or any significant audible moment from your life. '

Google Art Project Trolley

'The version of Street View technology used in the galleries involved an extremely high tech and rather silly-looking trolley. It was to be pushed around the rooms at a particular speed and on a peculiar route, and seemed to me to be a marvellous combination of garden-shed and cutting-edge.

Battery change. At 23 kilos each they were not fun to carry around

The trolley was not simple. It had lasers and cameras and GPS and all sorts. You could not stand in its view, for fear of being captured. Yet it could see you, left right, up down, back and forth and everywhere in between. So it must be operated by a squirrel (a trained man with a perfectly shaped back) who hides in its visual wake and guides it through the rooms.

Then you have to be completely out of sight. Which is interesting when you are trying to oversee the logistics of the operation. And in an empty museum at 2am you begin to think that this rule of not seeing what is going on provides perfect cover for some daring and complex ploy to steal a masterpiece. And that must be what the lasers and cameras and GPS are for.'
