Surfing Bauhaus Hessen + Typography: Links, quotes, references, data, texts and more

Every day, new artefacts related to the Bauhaus surface online, and with the 100th anniversary of the school, the number is reaching a peak. Surfing Bauhaus confronts this flood of information and approaches the Bauhaus institution in a contemporary way.

Becker and Hoffmann Robbiani focus on Bauhaus representatives who had a connection to the Hesse region and worked typographically. Using internet search engines, they have collected, filtered, and combined digital results with material researched using more classic methods, from archives and libraries. In their search, the editors - a graphic designer and a professor of typography and communication design - worked by association, provoking forms of digression and meandering, switching between English and German, and thus achieving an open perspective on the Bauhaus: a compilation of essays, links, data, references, and anecdotes, retrieved in 2019.
