Typoquake is a poster creation device that takes inspiration from Weingart's "Typographic Signs" series. The artifact presents a vibrating platform and a drawer containing Akzidenz Grotesks in wooden type. The audience actively participates by arranging typographic compositions on the platform which responds to their input with vibrations, altering the layout. The system then combines the rearranged letters based on their proximity and orientation and the resulting outputs create posters.
