Does it feel nice to get a single note?

and how about a 100?

why does it feel so unpleasant to see a pile of replicated notes?

What is the difference between my hand writing and a machine?

Although most of our writing today is digitally typed, we still use hand writing for signatures, personal letters and notes. 

 

I used my own hand as a test set and let the machine use it to write personal notes.

This work raises questions about the boundaries of personal and fabricated:

Is it still my hand writing if I didn’t write it manually?

Is a note personal if the machine can write it over and over again exactly the same?

If it looks identical, what is the extra value of hand writing? 

What is the difference between my hand writing the machine's?

Synthethic hand write

Today, while most of our writing is digitally typed, we still use hand writing for signatures, personal letters and notes. 

 

I used my own hand as a test set and let the machine use it to write personal notes.

This work raises questions about the boundaries of our personal identity:

Is it still my hand writing if I didn’t write it?

Is a still note personal if the machine can write it over and over again exactly the same?

If it looks identical, what is the extra value of hand writing?

 

knowing the source of the note changes our perception of it from being a personal and intimate to artificial and even "creepy".
