Pearls of Wisdom
Pearls of Wisdom is an installation by Studio Kmzero + ZetaFonts (Debora Manetti, Cosimo Lorenzo Pancini, Francesco Canovaro + Barbara Giardelli) with Simone Massoni (SketchThisOut), Ilari
What better way to envision the concept of “glocal” than choosing the lovely florentine hills as a backdrop for a graduation show of the students of the Master in Communication Design at Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design in London?
With the project Pearls of Wisdom (Perle di Saggezza) Studio Kmzero expands on the idea of mixing local and global, by inviting a selection of tuscan visual artists and illustrators to visualize quotations from influential personalities of worldwide communication design. The result will be available in art capsules, contained in the vending machine “Pearls of Wisdom” that will be active during the event, next to an installation of generative graphics, in which quotations are interpreted using fonts from the digital foundry ZetaFonts (www.zetafonts.com).
