Old neon signs are dismantled to single letters and the original meaning does not exist anymore. Often they are replaced by new LED signs. In this project these orphan neon letters are given a new life in form of art work. Oldest letter is from 30'ies.

Neonvetica is programmed work with a set of letters and typographical marks of collection of the artist. The code is a simple 10 second cycle. Each word is on for 8 seconds and black out is 2 seconds long.

Collection grows but now it contain following letters: H E A R T H P C S Y A I and typographical marks ! and =

i.e. from A I H E A R T H letters can be programmed words AI, ART, EARTH, HEART, EAR, HEAR, EAT

Working title is combined from words Neon and Helvetica.
