chromatic typewriter :: Tyree Callahan

By replacing the ink ribbon with paint blocks on an antique typewriter, artist Tyree Callahan has created a new conceptual instrument in which the notions of paint and words converge. Initially started as an experiment to apply watercolor text to a work in progress, the project grew to the resulting object, aptly named the chromatic typewriter.

From Brain Pickings:

You might recall Blok, a wonderful 1982 experimental Polish animated film, using a single continuous shot to take a voyeuristic tour of the different apartments in a building. From the same era comes Tango — a clever and spectacularly executed 1980 film by director Zbigniew Rybczynski from Polish short-film studio Se-ma-for. The cinematography, capturing multiple events taking place simultaneously in a closed space, was so complicated and required such precision that Rybczynski worked on the film for nearly a year, eating and sleeping on the set.

In 1983, Tango became the first Polish film to win an Oscar.

It’s important to realise how lucky you are if you can choose your favourite cuisine for dinner, decide whether you’re a MAC or PC and earn a salary that even as a photographer dwarfs that of a family here in Bangladesh and that most certainly puts food on your table and clothes on your back.

That said I’m not sure the photograph at the top of this post is an appropriate way to approach these stories even though it is a method widely used in the media.

The stero-typical poor …………(insert nationality here) person staring blankly at the camera and then converted using the ‘Poverty’ filter in photoshop that we see more often than a hipstamatic print.

Yes! Thank you. So true.

Even seemingly progressive, social-justice-minded nonprofits and other organizations fall into this trap, which is astonishing given the work they set out to do with/for the individuals they (mis)represent through photography. If they understood the people and the communities they aim to serve, would they really choose to represent them that way?
