Typewriter Art

Intuitive Keira Rathbone uses old manual typewriters - some amazingly 70 years old - as a unique tool to draw portraits of people with astonishing accuracy. Working from her studio in Chiswick, London, and in locations throughout the city, Keira turns the platen to move the paper and selects different characters to make the shapes she wants.

She is using the typewriter as a drawing tool. Her left hand is moving the carriage freely. This is not the same as ASCII art where you must stick to the character spaces. she can double up to get darker tones.
This is not commentary on art, it's skill with an unusual tool.

You say it as if creativity and talent is exclusive to art. Perhaps one can possess a level of creativity, and choose to, you know, not waste it on something as simple as typewriter art. Creativity is invaluable to critical thinkers and problem solvers.
And I'm sure i can take a shit on a lamp shade and call it art, and you know what, more than likely some goons in NY would definitely pay me for it.

@junitono1 And why is that, exactly? Also, ask yourself whether you could do this - I highly doubt that you have the creativity or talent to do so given your cynicism towards art in general.
