Edland 1892 Indexing, JVCRAK and QWERTY
Three keyboard layouts—Edland 1892 Indexing, JVCRAK, and QWERTY—are rendered in precise ink and gouache on paper, presented as objects of quiet typographic study. Auerbach investigates the arbitrary nature of systems and standardization, highlighting how the familiar QWERTY arrangement is just one of many possible configurations that history could have chosen. The work transforms utilitarian design into visual poetry, drawing attention to the hidden logic and contingency embedded in everyday tools.
