'Rules of Hypergraphy' was an investigation into the concept of hypergraphy through an exhibition, a publication, a typeface, a workshop and an evening of performances. It was initiated in 2013 by Paul Gangloff, upon invitation of Extrapool, Nijmegen, NL.
This second edition was realised in 2026, with a new preface by Mica Gherghescu.
Contributions by Paul Gangloff, Marc Matter, Hans and Gretel Metzger, Karl Nawrot, Jörg Piringer and Roland Sabatier.
'Hypergraphy' was not the first name the Lettrists gave to their new practice, in which the use of individual letters, and not words, formed the basic elements of their poetry and music, and later, their painting and sculpture. They also considered the names 'metagraphy' and 'olography'.
Besides disassembling words into letters, hypergraphics also include a wide range of non-alphabetical graphics and symbols, that can be used to form sound and shape arranged according to different rules.
