TYPE + CODE Series

O Antiphons + CODE, Computational Typographic Art, Valparaiso University, 2017,
Yeohyun Ahn reinterprets The O Antiphons into generative typography using computer algorithms to be eloquent and revealing as a visual language.The O Antiphons are used at Vespers on the last seven days of Advent in Western Christian traditions. The Roman Catholic Church has been singing the "O" Antiphons since the eighth century and they are the antiphons that accompany the Magnificat Canticle of Evening Prayer from December 17 - 23 every year.O Antiphons use ancient biblical imagery from the Old Testament's messianic hopes to proclaim the coming Christ to fulfill Old Testament hopes and present ones. Their repeated use of the imperative "Come!" embodies the longing, of all, for the Divine Messiah. This exhibition was originally initiated in collaboration with The Chapel of Resurrection at Valparaiso University and remained incomplete in 2017. This exhibition with the Komechak Art Gallery at Benedictine University represents the completed version in 2021.
