Hello, We are Open Source publishing, a group of people making graphic design using only free and open source software [1], and we're preparing a workshop for the event Typojanchi 2013 at Seoul, between the sept 30 and oct 4 2013.
The workshop can be summarize by : "By looking at the inner workings of digital text recognition software known as OCR (Optical Character Recognition), there seems to be a space in which we can put comprehension aside, and where we could be able to observe typography in its shapes, before making out its specificities, or even its meaning. We do this by letting go of our digital habits, and taking time to understand and retrace processes that OCR uses to analyse images. By looking at shapes, step by step, and over time working out which are characters, which are words, and what they correspond to, this software embodies a digital way of learning to read. We believe there is a lot to take from this, a lot we, as type enthusiasts, can grasp on to. By patiently reverse engineering a digital cognition process, can we challenge our own understanding of typographic languages, and the links between content and its forms?" We will be very happy to meet (and invite to drink a beer, and maybe invite at the workshop) korean developer who wok with Tesseract, and maybe even more precisely who train Tesseract to learn Hangeul! Do not hesitate to contact us, even just to say 'Hi!'. Sarah, Ludi, Colm and Pierre 1. Founded in 2006 in the context of Brussels art organisation Constant, the OSP caravan now comprises a group of individuals from different background and practices: typography, graphic design, cartography, programming, mathematics, writing, performance. Through a collaborative practice, they work on workshops, commissioned or self-commissioned projects, searching to redefine their playground, digging towards a more intimate relation with the tools. 2. http://typojanchi.org/2013/ -- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "tesseract-ocr" group.
