The Future Is Extinct by Dum Dum Studio and Arde Arte
A collaboration between Dum Dum Studio and art gallery Arde Arte for FAMA (Festival de Arte Moderno), Serial Stone was part of the exhibition titled The Future Is Extinct. This project delves into the idea of a new world emerging without prior prejudices or references, where the tools at our disposal are those we find in nature and debris.
Serial Stone explores a passion for modern typography expressed through raw, elemental means – in this case, stone. Through engraving, the alphabet takes shape, bringing a new visual language to life. The project reflects on the efficiency and global reach of the alphabet, which proves useful for almost any language that uses the Latin script. This exploration merges the sophistication of type design with the rugged essence of ancient tools, highlighting how the alphabet has become a universal system of communication. It’s a bridge between the primal and the modern, an ode to letters carved into a future yet to be written.
