Captcha, I'm Not a Robot

MuVIM opens the exhibition "Captcha, no soy un robot" this evening. The project, developed within the Master’s in Graphic Design and Typography at the Universitat Politècnica de València (UPV), examines how typography is changing in today’s digital environment. Curated by Begoña Jordá and Nereida Tarazona, the exhibition is centered on the idea of "hostile typography," a term used for typeforms that do not make reading easier but instead create a deliberate visual resistance. The participating artists have turned security filters into compositions with strong visual impact. Using both manual and digital techniques, the works question the traditional role of letters as transparent carriers of information and instead present typography as an expressive tool with a distinct personality. The exhibition also invites reflection on the nature of the glyph in the 21st century and asks whether legibility is an inherent quality of words or a convention that technology forces us to reconsider. Seen from multiple perspectives, the works suggest that, in an increasingly automated world, the human ability to recognize patterns and forms remains a unique act of identity.
