America™ by Design
Type Directors Club
Type Drives Culture
March 4–5, 2022
Quoting co-chair Jon Key, this year’s theme is “Type: The Next 75 Years, recognizing the TDC’s 75 year anniversary but also the shifts in perspective and conversations around contemporary global type and design.”
Quoting Isometric Studio, “This conference explores the ways in which people use typography to form and transform creative communities. Discussions will also encompass the ways designers might navigate shifts in technology, communication, social good and most significantly, prepare for a post-Pandemic economy.”

Use type as a tool for “unpacking the sedimentary layers, excavating bias, then dismantling, mocking, remixing, recasting, reclaiming.”
Join @andrewchee (artist, designer, and co-editor and designer of quarterly print mag INDEX) at #TypeDrivesCulture, to sift through topics like “Mangling modernism. Free improvisation and cut-up. Détournement and dérive. Experimental publishing. Design as therapy. Design practice as acts of reclamation.”

Session 6: America™ by Design
3:30pm-4:10 pm
‘America™ by Design’
An American cis-male born from Chinese and Malaysian immigrants, I am expected to self-identify as Asian. I have also self-identified as ALAANA (African, Latinx, Asian, Arab, Native American), First-Generation American, Asian American, Chinese, Cantonese, Hakka, and Malaysian. For all these identities that have been defined as Other, there are also places.
This presentation shares recent work using visual techniques to communicate and explore how much is designed, including history and place. And how we are now together unpacking the sedimentary layers, excavating bias, then dismantling, mocking, remixing, recasting, reclaiming. The International Style as a carrier wave to redeliver historical oppression as a mirror. Mangling modernism. Free improvisation and cut-up. Détournement and dérive. Experimental publishing. Design as therapy. Design practice as acts of reclamation.
“Those with the power of definition can, in a sense, create ‘place’ by arbitrarily regionalizing the external world.”
