Linked by Air is the graphic design partnership of Tamara Maletic and Dan Michaelson. Our approach is practical, hands-on and collaborative. We are experienced in several media, including print, online, and installations in the environment. We specialize in the design and production of public space both physical and online. We often do programming in-house so that design and technology are intertwined inventive processes.

Statuesque  06/03/10  (0 comments)

Identity, printed matter, signage, and website for the Public Art Fund’s new outdoor exhibition, Statuesque. The exhibit focuses on contemporary figurative sculpture by Huma Bhabha, Thomas Houseago and others. Our identity stacks all the content on top of a base made of Albertus, a typeface from the 1930s inspired by raised bronze lettering in public inscriptions. We made it even more 3D. It’s installed in City Hall Park, right around the corner from our office; the work is great if you want to visit.

A book about MOS Office’s modular Element House. It’s inspired by the architects’ film, The Romance of Systems, which is a slow, panning loop across the length of a seemingly endless instance of the house, built on a turntable at MOS. We made a kind of comic book in five nested parts, from the abstract and romantic film (the outermost signature) to the concrete built house (the innermost signature). The cover’s green pattern is a view of the house’s shingle pattern. More spreads.
