How to tell the differnce between Helvetica and Arial…

Helvetica was developed in 1957 by Haas type foundry of Münchenstein, Switzerland. Haas set out to design a new sans-serif typeface, the aim of the design was to create a neutral typeface that had great clarity, had no intrinsic meaning in its form.

Arial is held in disregard by most typographers and type enthusiasts, for reasons relating to its similarity to other typefaces (arial is nearly identical to Helvetica in both proportion and weight) and the involvement of Microsoft in its development and distribution. It is reinforced by Arial’s apparent status as a de facto Helvetica stand-in, but without paying royalties, or credit, to Helvetica.

Rochester’s fall foliage seems more vibrant than usual this year. According to the Democrat and Chronicle “the amount and brilliance of the colors that develop in any autumn season are related to temperature and moisture. As leaves reach the end of their growing period, the green chlorophyll pigment disappears to make way for the bright yellow, red and orange colors seen in the fall. The dry, sunny late summer days and cool nights in September have set up Rochester for some striking autumn foliage. Those are ideal conditions for creating the brightest leaves, and the Rochester area should be fully multicolored, foliage experts say. They are calling for peak visual appeal around Oct. 27”

Unfold: The design of the Brain Wave Sofa is the result of a brain wave scan measured by means of an elektro-encefalogram (EEG) using a set of electrodes connected to the head. The data is represented as a 3d landscape by a computer application for neurofeedback, the depth is the frequency of the brain-activity in hertz, the height is the strength of the signal and the length is the timescale. The role of the ‘designer’ is challenged in this procedure, by looking at the 3d visuals you are directly influencing your design. In this case Lucas controlled the form by opening and closing his eyes while measuring a specific wavelength known as the Alpha activity (8-12 Hertz). The Alpha activity is peculiar because it strengthens when you close your eyes in contrast to other brain activity that dims. This to prepare your brain for the large input of signals when you open your eyes. The resulting 3 second computerfile is sent to a CNC milling machine that mills out the Brain Wave in soft foam. It is a tongue-in-cheek reference to a futuristic production workflow in which the designer only has to close his eyes and a computer ‘prints’ the result out as a functional form. A warm grey felt with buttons in the valleys is applied by hand to the foam honoring the traditional codes of a sofa. Brain Wave Sofa is a collaboration between Lucas Maassen and Dries Verbruggen from Unfold and part of the Bits ‘n Pieces exhibition in NYC
