This book is a pioneering study of temporal typography and
time-based calligraphic art written in the Arabic system of
writing. Inspired by the innate qualities of Arabic script as well
as certain practices in Islamic calligraphy and contemporary
calligraphic art, the book devises five broad categories of
temporal behaviors for Arabic characters in time-based media. It
goes onto expand the vocabulary used to describe Arabic script's
appearance in time-based media and proposes a theory to help
artists, practitioners, and theoreticians push the boundaries of
temporal text-based art. Furthermore, it tackles questions of
legibility and readability, and seeks to understand how temporality
of Arabic text influences the creation of meaning. This book will
therefore appeal not only to animators, designers, and artists, but
also to commentators and scholars who deal with temporal text-based
art written in Arabic script.
