The Visual Dictionary - a visual exploration of words in the real world.

i put up a thread about this site in the art section thinking that it'd be interesting to maybe do a version of this project or to make some images and submit them to the site---so have a look and go to the other thead if you like.

either way, this is a very cool thing, defining words by the ways in which they creep over surfaces, the way they make the world text, the way the world makes words into objects, the way the image frames the relation and the dictionary frames it again.

here's another project that does the reverse, typographic masonry:

TM-City


post other such sites, if you know of them.
words as things or as sculpture, words creeping everywhere.

I took a look at the visual dictionary. Thanks for the link! It looks interesting. I like the idea. I'll go take a look at your other thread.
