| Typing can be thought of as percussive
spatial action—a play of tiny thoughts scattered onto a tightly organized grid.
Typing is also a kind of speech, spoken through the fingers with flashing rhythms and
continuous gestures. Dakadaka is an interactive applet that explores these ideas by
combining positional typo-graphic systems with an abstract dynamic display. Through
mapping the grid of the computer keyboard to the screen, Dakadaka reflects these
fleeting performances back to us, reminding us of their gestural and continuous qualities. |
