David Dunnet

David Dunnet’s piece - the altered readymade ‘Colour Type #1’ - a typewriter which prints in abstract coloured forms. The work investigates the coding of meaning between one system of marks and another by translating from the language of written words to that of colour. The viewer becomes implicated in the act of translation by using the typewriter and is asked to consider the relationship between the separate modes of communication. David is collaborating with Philip Morris by bringing together two complementary works which explore the audience’s relation to often unquestioned aspects of everyday life through participation.
