Diane Gromala is exploring a new realm that she terms "biomorphic typography." Her fonts, such as Excretia, respond, in real-time, to Gromala's bodily output, as measured by EEG, ECG, EMG, EOG, and PSG signals. Rather than one uniquely drawn typeface, biomorphoic fonts are postmodern pastiches of many fonts, and reside in the research realm of Tangible and Ambient Media. Contact: Diane Gromala
