TYPO Lab, directed by Joel Swanson, is an experimental studio for creative work and research related to the technologies of language. The lab houses a wide range of text-based technologies, from manual typewriters to software for natural language processing. The goal of the lab is to give students and faculty the opportunity to explore the various media and methods of words so that they can more deeply appreciate and explore contemporary technologies of language.Ìý
