A week and a day into carving this marble memorial- two more weeks should get me pretty close to finishing. Right now I'm planing surfaces for lettering and rough sketching the figures, which is easy but labor intensive, and rather boring. The fun stuff begins later when I'll start back up at the top for a second pass. #churchofdust #mnemonicdevices (at Sycamore, Illinois) https://www.instagram.com/p/B7lOVkLHbgU/?igshid=1uwras5b7dptu

Proposal draft

What:

Central Proposition Communication design can facilitate the representation of Chinese culture with visible plurality.

Context

What is this project about?

-             The relation of type and culture

-             Ethnic types that are stereotypical and can be racist in certain contexts

-             Its used commercially there’s two sides of it: restaurant owners who don’t see the problem and use it to signify authenticity and designers to want to scream ethnic! And design products based on stereotypes and racial digs  

-             Designing a new typeface, an alternative that is true to the culture rather than based of stereotypes

What are you investigating/addressing/revealing/challenging?

-             How type has been stereotype and created

-             Who designed racist type

-             The origin of the wonton font

-             How it paved its way to Chinese restraunts

-             How its kept going and still used today

-             How type is designed

-             The process of how type is received

-             Social science and understanding of peoples minds and how they construct a stereotype

-              What authenticity means, what makes something authentic

-              cultural commodity as these typefaces have been used to sell the culture there by using signifiers to show the culture

-             signifiers, an easy visual short cut to show and signal a ‘thing’

-             semiotics behind the type such as its racial history and coming to be referencing the yellow peril, gold rush, Chinese immigration, housing, chinse ban, movies where westers mock Asians, the power over the other, micro-aggression, yellow face, orientalism, terms such as chink, chong ect

what practical, technical, theoretical or design approach is your research using/advancing/following?

-             Paul shaw

-             His key points

-             Ethnic Typefaces are a visual shorthand for an entire group

-             People connect to typefaces with their own accord and reinforcing the fonts’ ethnic associations inviewers’ minds.

-             Its welcomed by commercial purposes that serve the ‘person’ to an advantage such as restaurant owners

So What:

what is the significance of the problem/topic/issue; why is it

worth doing? Why should we care about it?

-             It’s a product of the past but people continue to use it

-             Seeing it used reminds me of growing up with a heritage of the racism, and can’t shake those associations whenever I see the font

-             Racism is quite present in NZ as The Human Rights Commission report hints that this might be the case, with ‘one in two New Zealanders [who] feel the recent arrival of Asian migrants is changing the country in undesirable ways‘. One in two.

-             1 in 3 complaints to the Human Rights Commission are about racial discrimination

-             micro-aggression the unseen, but the heard is still strongly present

-             there is no ‘alternative’ to it in the market that isn’t racists??

-             There is no such thing as nz typeface kinda thing

-             Pointing the problem

Why:

State your concept

What ideas have you brought to the problem/issue/topic?

-             A new typeface

-             A visual thing/exhibition/manifesto

-             Campaign?

-             A book, ethnographic, biographic study of it

What is your angle or approach?

-              

What does it add to what we already know?

-             It confines it and gives awareness to it, as its been pushed under the rug

-             Its old news but still prevails in modern society, examples of racism or lack of authenticity to sell as a commodity such has the noodle night market lol

What does design add to the problem/issue/topic?

-             Design takes on the role as a visual communication for everything, its our role as visual communicators to be educated and do design right not wrong

-             We undertake the responsibility behind how things are perceived, viewed, looked, felt and understood.

-             Design controls it

-             Design confines what outside viewers understand

-             Its role is to design good not bad

-             Make good design choices

what do you add to the integrated fields of the problem/issue/topic and design?

-            A background of experience and knowledge of both receiving ends of the spectrum  

-            From behind the counter and experiencing what that undertakes and what it also comes with

-            An insight into a visual understanding of it and questioning it

-            Growing up in nz

-            As a takeaway kid

-            Moving on from that and reflecting the choices/no choices that we had or say in the branding

-            Cheap designers who were most likely of that decent making back design choices and they don’t know better, uneducated in that sense

-             sinister association in my head because I have it abruptly thrown at me by strangers who clearly do not speak Mandarin.

-            

How:

State your intention

What did you do to get to this point?

-            Research into what exists

-            A fair conclusion that people think the same way

-            On the same wave length and want to never see that font used

-            Interviews with a few groups of people

-            1) restaurant owners; which concluded that design choices were made by the designer on hand their input was colour and context, but and input of what they wanted; common answers were fortune, brings people in, draws attention from other competition surrounding, ‘Chinese’

-            2) a group of people of Chinese decent on their thoughts and feelings confronting them – the chopstick font and racial stereotypes in the media. They all knew about it were aware of it and reminding them of it, sparked a sense of ugh this again. And questioning why, how was that even allowed, how did it go through all those production stages and end up on the market?  

What have you learnt/invented/created that can be a departure point for further work in semester two?

-            A collection of found signage and ethnographic study

-            A complied journal of biographies from first hand experiences, conversations with friends and blog posts of racial remarks/stereotypes/micro-aggressions

-            A collection of ugly fonts (up to 25 at this point)

How can what you have done already suggest what you do next?

-            Its given me resources to unpack and uncover

-            It has started the conversation and an ever growing list of what exists

-            

What specifically do you intend to do?

-            I intend to offer a new typeface as an alternative to your ethnic font your using or about to use, this font serves as a new outlook on what is means to be Chinese and not what it is seen for from stereotypes and racial aggressions.

-            I intend to also help victims, like me of this to stand up and speak out against it. But also or people to understand and build empathy towards the wrong and learn and reflect on their behavior and create social change.

Objective

Precedents:

-            There’s no such thing as a New Zealand typeface, klim

-            Ada chen who confronts racism through jewelry https://i-d.vice.com/en_us/article/9k8jd7/ada-chen-jewelry-made-in-chinese-america

-            Banana mag https://i-d.vice.com/en_us/article/9k8jd7/ada-chen-jewelry-made-in-chinese-america

-            He points out: the history of ethnic typefaces and shows that there are many different paths taken by a typeface from its creation to its status as a visual shorthand for an entire group.

-          Many fonts, however, are seen as exotic because of context rather than innate characteristics.

-          Thesefonts’ ethnic connotations have developed gradually, through recurrent appearances on book covers and posters, by people who connected the typefaces with their own cultural biases and perceptions,slowly reinforcing the fonts’ ethnic associations in viewers’ minds.

-          Ethnic type—not just chop suey but all of the varieties—survives for the simple reason that stereotypes, thoughcrude, serve a commercial purpose. They are shortcuts, visual mnemonicdevices. There is no room for cultural nuance or academic accuracy in ashop’s fascia. Restaurant owners want passersby (often in carsrather than on foot) to know immediately that they serve Chinese (orGreek, or Jewish) food, and a lettering style that achieves this iswelcome.

-            

-            

Typographic shapes and letterforms are a way to represent a culture.

People have been seduced by the cultural connotations in typographic letter forms to assimilate a culture. Type is used as a visual short hand to represent a culture through visual mnemonics. (wachendorff 228)

These visual devices — often seen in ethnic fonts, can lead to racist designs or used for ethnic stereotypes which prevents a culture having proper representation.Ethnic fonts are usually served for a commercial purpose, to perpetuate authenticity and signify a culture. This project focuses on ethnic type, specifically of Chinese influence and the ways around cultural authenticity and challenges the use of these existing fonts by peoplewho have chosen to use these typefaces and kept their popularity alive.

Wachendorff theorises that a culture is perceived through rhetoric notions of how something looks and feels, in which the viewer encompasses the culture. (210)

that are often crude and mimic the style of Chinese calligraphy serve for s commercial purpose.

These visual devices are

typefaces taking on ethnic identities after years of playing other aesthetic roles.

People hab

Type is a visual short hand

Unpacking the definition of culture

UNESCO: "[Culture] is that complex whole which includes knowledge, beliefs, arts,

morals, laws, customs, and any other capabilities and habits acquired by [a human] as a member of society."

Theories:

In response to the theory of:

Authenticity

Cultural commodity

Semiotics, signs, symbol, signifiers

My #art serves many purposes, but often as a #mnemonicdevice and sort of mundane divination of unconscious thoughts; Mixing elements and ideas together outside my skull. It is my favorite way to "think."⠀ .⠀ To look at a #pieceofart, I can remember and relive much of what was going on, and thoughts of the time!⠀ .⠀ This: A challenge of sorts, to myself. It's important to let things "be", regardless of whether much comes of them. Eventually, what must be will settle in. Whatever that means.
