text2image
ted davis
text2image is an online tool that does exactly as the name describes, but in a different way than one might expect. Rather than creating a typographic based image of the live text submitted, this tool renders an abstract image that is the digital translation of the input text. The results remain consistent for any given entry, however will change greatly through alternate keying. Within the realms of data visualization + glitch/digital aesthetics, text2image.org explores alternative ways in creating images and analyzing texts.
