Omid Nemalhabib Work
Omid Nemalhabib is a graphic designer working at the intersection of type design, visual language, and multilingual typography. He draws on philosophy, visual culture, poetry, and practice-led artistic research to build multilayered narratives, shaped into typographic systems through an ongoing dialogue between analogue tools and digital experimentation. This cross-disciplinary approach spans identity, editorial, printed objects, web design, and motion. He co-founded Studio Melli, an independent practice born in Tehran and based in The Hague.
Traces Of Power
2024
Traces of Power is the first episode of an ongoing lecture and performance series by the Permacomputing Evenings at WdKA, in collaboration with Permacomputing. The event brought together researchers and artists to trace the hidden material and energy costs of computation, from supercomputers to data centres.
               For the event, the visual identity, publication, web design, and social media visuals were developed alongside a series of motion pieces and Riso posters in multiple sizes. The design draws on the language of terminal output, system monitoring command-line typography, ASCII, load statistics, and process logs to make visible the infrastructure the event itself is concerned with. Rooted in the tension between the digital's apparent weightlessness and its physical, extractive reality, the visual system treats each surface, screen, print, and poster as another trace left behind by power.
