As an echo to the exhibition Scrivere Disegnando, we invite you to take part in a great contest from your home.

Many of the artists in the exhibition have invented their own alphabets, imaginary, cryptic, mystical.

You too, create and share the alphabet of your own invention to win the privilege of being reproduced by Otto, the writing robot created by the artist Jürg Lehni!

How to participate?

Using a single colour, on A4 paper or digital media, draw your own alphabet by composing a pangram, that is a sentence using each letters of the alphabet. For example:”The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog”.

Give your alphabet a name.

Send a photo or scan of your alphabet by email to publics@centre.ch

Be careful, the design of the letters must not be too complex. Otto must be able to reproduce them.
