Individuals form collectives in visual communications and beyond—whether it’s characters in a typeface, pages in a magazine, dancers on a stage, people in a city, or frames in a video. Focusing on frames and frequency of flow, Shira Inbar will talk about playing in the intersecting territories of type systems and motion graphics, media, and nightlife.

She has worked with Squarespace, Nike, Adobe, GIPHY, The FADER, Medium, and MTV News; attempting to make cable television relevant again via interstitials, GIFs, broadcast takeovers, and general randomness.
