50 years of Helvetica

In 2007 Blanka staged an exhibition celebrating the 50th anniversary of Helvetica. The Exhibition opened at The Design museum in London and went on to visit Leicester, Dublin, Newcastle, Paris, Barnsley, Edinburgh, New York and Sheffield. This is a short film taken from the launch night. Thanks to everyone who helped make it happen.

It's some version of Emerge by Fischerspooner.. The beginning doesn't sound like the original version though.. Great track, great posters, great vid..
