Abstract:

Based on the argument that digital kinetic typography ought to be defined as virtual motion within three dimensions, this paper discusses the temporal-spatial relationship between the viewer and transitional text information. It juxtaposes concepts of three-dimensional static text arrangements with the composition of individually moving text elements. After differentiating between real-time-communication and experiential time, I will point out the potential of digital kinetic typography to decelerate the communication process.
