Typotransformat

Typotransformat will enable you to extract and break apart subtile content of text – to show its very semantic subtility.
Copy any given texte and past it into the upper part of the interface. Then use the ‘transform’ button. The text can now be seen and percepted free of its usually included synaptical causalities. Large textes can now be overlooked in a short period of time. Opinions stated “between the lines” are now clearly visible.
The transformed text can be sorted according to quantity of its words. Semantically inferior words “‘to’, ‘at’, ‘the’, ‘a’, ‘on’, etc.) can be made invisible.

Solar film by Saul Bass

Eames demetrios, grandson of Charles and Ray Eames presents a rare glimpse of the Solar Film produced by graphic designer Saul Bass. The film was commissioned in 1980 by Robert Redford. If you listen at the end of the film you can hear Saul Bass speak for a few seconds. He mentions something about pumping hot water to the house.
