Wild and Insane Typography Art by Oded Ezer
Breaching the boundaries in a juxtaposition of typography, art, and science, Oded Ezer writes his own rules as an experimentalist with works of letters transformed into bizarre, zany, and mesmerizing shapes and designs from insects to cloned human sperm cells injected with typographic information into its DNA.
Typoplastic Surgeries
Working from his studio in Israel, Oded doesn’t consider himself as a scientist or an artist, merely a typographer who attempts to explore new fields as a pioneer for typography in a similar manner as Graffiti and Street Artists are carving their way to be deemed as a true and mainstream form of art and communication, with the world at large as an audience.
Typoplastic Surgeries
Oded became thoroughly keyed-up with Typoplastic Surgeries for its possibilities, and literally began attaching letters to his own body and face.

Typosperma
A bizarre and one of the more amazing concepts ever to hit typography is Oded’s creation of Typosperma. Using biotechnological methods (think in the likes of Victor Frankenstein), Oded creates a form of new transgenic living creatures which are half-human sperm and half-letter by implanting typographic information into the DNA of cloned sperm cells.

Biotypography
For his lecture titled “The Typographer’s Guide to the Galaxy,” Oded attempted to explore cloning and envisioned a mouse whose ear becomes a letter, and thought “Why not make an animal into the letter F?” The letter by itself wouldn’t mean much, but together with other letter creatures, they could spell out a word.
