TypeCon '09: It ain’t your mom’s type and that’s faux-d(amn) sure!

First I brainstormed a list of words that had to do with my Behavioral Type Conference:

programmed
evolving
morph
metamorphic
digital
evolutionary
revolutionary
new
burgeoning
advanced
current
up to date
cutting-edge
creative
experimental
newfangled
hackneyed
mint condition
improved
refreshed
type
figure
symbol
mark
sign
behavioral
actionable
operating
response
automatic
automated
automaton
machine
robotic
progress

Second I came up with possible names:

morphic mark
type automaton
responsive symbols
programing mark-making
refreshed figure
coded setting
faux-d typography (faux as I'm sure you know means false, and so what this means is the type is 4 dimensional because it adds the dimension of time, but since it is screen based the dimension of depth is an illusion or false. Get it?)
faux-d space
faux-d full space
faux-d(igital)
faux-d(oubt)
behavioral type
moveable type
evolving faces
active script
scripted letters
letter script
character script
type script
faux-d scripting
movable type
movable stroke
movable serif
scripted serif
scripted signs
binary monotype
pixel press
printing pixel
automated pixel press
Johannes Scriptenberg
Johannes Codenberg
durative type design
programmed marking
upperCode
scriptCase
living type

Third I realized that maybe people wouldn't get this so I came up with subtitles

a look at programable typography
the future of digital type
the new movable type
a new look at movable type
the future movable type
movable type for the digital age

Fourth I mixed and matched favorites

faux-d typography: the future of digital type
pixel press: the future of interactive typography
scriptCase: movable type for the digital age
type automaton: a look at programmable typography
type scripting: a new look at movable type
faux-d(igital) type: the new movable type
typotopography: type in a digital landscape (*heisted)
