Text as Images
Irredentismo- Fillipo Marinetti
Texts as images came into play in the beginning of the 20th century by an Italian futurist Fillipo Marinetti.  In his composition in 1912 he transformed typography into a weapon against bourgeois values. Other artists started to follow his tradition by using text as paintings, designs, photographs, etc.  Some performers also use this to form visual protests.
