Description

futura 13 was published as part of Hansjörg Mayer’s influential futura broadside series, a key forum for concrete poetry, experimental typography, and conceptual art. Nake’s contribution presents a labyrinthine configuration of lines that run parallel, intersect, and open into passage-like intervals. The design reflects his fascination with pathways, decisions, and organized movement as aspects of algorithmic thinking. Although printed as a static graphic, the composition suggests traversal and choice, inviting the viewer to visually “navigate” its corridors. Presented in a publication about the aesthetics of systems and language, futura 13 situates Nake’s computer-generated work in dialogue with contemporaneous explorations of structure and meaning.
