    Jérôme did a nice use of the pilcrow sign in the Disclosures programme, we were discussing this with him and Martine a few days ago before going to the opening of the exhibition.

    Being an amateur unicode explorer I was familiar with the wikipedia entry on sir U+00B6. Recently Jonathan Hoefler wrote an article* that very nicely updated what I knew about it. One of the thing I did not know was that it came from a “c” and not a “p”, this prompted us to the word “caragraphs”, the new official terms in lingonest for those block of text that sometime cannot afford white lines to separate them.

    * being a perverse automator, I particularly like Jonathan Hoefler “8 fundamental questions that inform the space of the pilcrow” and the corresponding 768 possible outcomes at the end of the entry.

    This is a 365×270 cm wall inside the Gasworks gallery. It will signal I’ve got the books, you’ve got the brains… and the Disclosures series of events; it’s featuring the font LaPolice by François Rappo, edited by B&P Type Foundry.
