Joy + Fear -
A Human Intelligence Task often involve tasks—transcription, image identification—that can be completed by Siris and Alexas. A HIT that touches on human core, meaningless to AI, depersonalization due to the anonymity

Apolline typeface family was created in 1993 by Jean François Porchez as a means to study the transition from Renaissance writing into the first printing types. Rather than sticking to the method commonly used these days for the creation of revivals of Jenson or Bembo types, it seemed more interesting to try and get in the same mindset as those exceptional designers during this pivotal period in the history of typography. Thus Apolline is an exploration of the design methods used by people like Nicolas Jenson and his contemporaries for adapting handwriting with its multiple occurrences (a, a, a, b, b, b…) into single, unique signs (a, b…).
Through a lifetime of artistic experimentation, he created sculptures, gardens, furniture and lighting designs, ceramics, architecture, and set designs. His work, at once subtle and bold, traditional and modern, set a new standard for the reintegration of the arts. Noguchi, an internationalist, traveled extensively throughout his life. He discovered the impact of large-scale public works in Mexico, earthy ceramics and tranquil gardens in Japan, subtle Part One ink-brush techniques in China, and the purity of marble in Italy.
He incorporated all of these impressions into his work, which utilized a wide range of materials, including stainless steel, marble, cast iron, balsawood, bronze, sheet aluminum, basalt, granite, and water. Throughout his career, Noguchi drew inspiration from the tension of opposing concepts—ancient and modern, practical and utopian, personal isolation and social engagement. His creations, including sculptures, furniture, lighting, public spaces and gardens all reflect the rich cultural and philosophical influences he embraced throughout his prolific career.
