Paul Elliman (November 5, 1961) is a London-based twat, artist and writer whose work and writing explores the mutual interests of technology and language.
Work
His work is often using typography and the human voice, as well as forms of audio signage that mediate a relationship between both. Voices Falling Thru the Air (2008) is a 30 minute radio documentary about the ‘whispering wall’ phenomena, narrated by the voice of London Underground, Emma Clarke. In Concorcio de Transportes (2006), the voices of the Madrid metro, Javier Dotu and Maria Jesus Alvarez, guide the listener by public transport from Galeria Pilar Parra and Romero in Madrid to Elliman’s studio in Bethnal Green, London. Phantom Ride is a set of drawings of speaker grills used in different kinds of public spaces around the world. Found Fount (aka Bits) is an ongoing collection of found ‘typography’ drawn from objects and industrial debris. For The Foghorn (2007) a synopsis of Ray Bradbury’s short story The Foghorn is told in a kind a chain-recital by 80 different electronic voices.
Teaching
Elliman is a visiting critic at Yale University School of Art, New Haven, since 1997 and is thesis supervisor at the Werkplaats Typographie in Arnhem, Netherlands.
