“Sign boards, shopping lists, exotic calligraphy, scribbles, asemic writing, teenage diaries, school notebooks, writing on walls, writing in chocolate icing on birthday cakes, writing done in the air with fire, with fingers through condensation or dust collected on a car.” (Moleskine.com)
Ecriture Infinie / Infinite Writing is the celebration of a 3500 year old invention: handwriting.
The website can be found here: http://www.ecritureinfinie.org and I totally recommend a visit if you are interested in Handwriting, be in your journal, diary, when you write a letter, seeing handwriting on a wall or somewhere else.
Ecriture Infinie is an art project by Bili Bidjocka. Eight giant notebooks are included and one of them occasionally pops up here and there and people can leave there marks in it.
The website, which is sponsored by Moleskine, wants to play a vital part and invite everybody to join the art project. Try to track on the giant notebook, play around with analog-digital handwriting and share your art in the online gallery.
