typewriter art at st bride

Last Wednesday night, a number of people gathered at the St Bride Foundation to hear Barrie talk about his book Typewriter Art – with a few digressions along the way – which included the double shift keyboard, the fact you can’t Tweet on a British Typewriter (no # key), the inability to undo that which you have done, and Ultravox’s Vienna.
The talk started with a video of the typewriter art of Stephanie Strange…
and throughout the night, Keira Rathbone was ‘live typing’, a term coined in 1904 to describe the ‘drawings from life’ that Flora Stacey produced with her Bar-Lock typewriter.
Barrie would like to say a huge thank you to the St Bride Foundation for inviting him, to Keira, Stephanie and (of course) the audience.
