The coefficient websites (X/Y) published for Photographer Ari Versluis include typefaces Monylop and a custom version of Isospin.₁ Both the desktop horizontal interface with left/right for prev/next with pop-index on scroll, plus the handheld-device version (scroll) are also initiated by D. G. M. Typographics™. Both mirror one another for accessing archival content.
Considerations persevere on the possibility of running a cross-device protocol dialogue, which already exists with certain applications/apps today, similar to that of MIDI.₂ Conclusive to furtherance coupling the machinery of (A.) displaying Thumbnail-images on a mobile (external) device web-browser, in conjunction to (B.) highRes-images on a desktop web-browser. The option of a remote reference source would be at the fingertips of a coordinated spectator of a simulated projection.
Currently, the fact that one can respond to X/Y via both devices simultaneously functions to offer a secondary perception of the archival order.₃
David G. Millhouse is also author of the texts.
₁ Horizontally capped terminals and a singular stroke ‘I’ for Isospin(ARICTM) were performed to refine persona to the clients name, familiar yet muted, and prominent throughout the commerical background-image interface.
₂ The Musical Instrument Digital Interface standard was released in 1983 by Californian inventor Dave Smith as a protocol for cross-device functionality via a DIN connector cable. MIDI is still broadly used today for clock synchronization over multiple hardware sequencers and continues to be incorporated in most digital musical instruments produced worldwide.
