Re: Videos on YouTube

Dear William, dear list,

the conference Alphabetica 2019 was held in The Hague at West, the museum of contemporary art:
http://www.westdenhaag.nl/exhibitions/19_11_Alphabetica <http://www.westdenhaag.nl/exhibitions/19_11_Alphabetica>

West is located in the former US embassy, a brutalist building by Marcel Breuer (Bauhaus):

The Missing Scripts Project is a joint effort of Institut Designlabor Gutenberg (IDG), Hochschule Mainz, where I am teaching, Atelier National de Recherche Typographique (ANRT) Nancy and Script Encoding Initiative (SEI) Berkeley.

Here you can find videos of all talks:

First step of the Missing Scripts Project is this website:

All the best,
Johannes
