Kaleidotype

At a garden party with creative people from graphic design and advertising, good conversation, a great, long summer evening that lasts long into the night… Around a table little groups form and gaze enthralled at a PowerBook… I look over their shoulders in curiosity… and discover the original version of Kaleidotype. A fascinating game with letters captivates me, memories of the kaleidoscopes I collected as a child and built as a student, letters become ornaments, logos, new shapes are created, sometimes the letters that form them are recognizable, sometimes just barely – a meditative, eye-training, quiet game that makes you forget the world around...

you. It’s got something.We have to make something out of it. Yes, a program on CD-ROM. But, there’s a lot more to it! And so, in a game of ping-pong between enthusiastic and creative authors and publishers, the typo-magical cube is born. A typo-game on all levels: you’ll find it hard to put down the cube - far more than just packaging - and then place it decoratively on your desk. The Kaleidotype cards sharpen the eyes and memory with Typo-Memory in different levels of difficulty, and the CD-ROM turns your PowerBook into a Kaleidotype generator of all installed fonts. The Kaleidotypes used as logos by Buttgereit and Heidenreich successfully prove...

that the game can get serious!
