25: Experimental Typographer Oded Ezer Brand New Ways

Animated gifs, Arctic Monkeys, retreating to the sea, painting the moon, and eliminating nationalities in the name of living in harmony.
In this episode, I talk to Oded Ezer, graphic artist, typographer, and conceptual artist (known as "Cat Chap"). He founded the Hebrew Typography type foundry in 2004, but is best known for his typographic design fiction projects, which have been exhibited at the V&A in London and MoMA in New York.
