Compression: Nicholas Grider
“I’m an artist and writer and make a decent amount of text art; my constraint-based work called Unsolicited Advice contains digital images that mimic backlit roadside acrylic signs filled with bad or strange advice. Compression is an important factor in the work in that I’ve only given myself 50 spaces for letters in each work, which makes for five lines of ten letters in which to offer at least one sentence that seems similar to but set apart from advice you might actually receive. ” — Nicholas Grider
