This chromatic typewriter is the perfect tool for any aspiring abstract artists who wished they could type out a picture instead of drawing one.
I imagine that's not a very large market demographic, which probably explains why the chromatic typewriter by Tyree Callahan is a conceptual art piece, and not an actual consumer product. Regardless, the design is fascinating. The chromatic typewriter replaces the standard QWERTY keyboard layout on the type writer with colored keys. When the user types a color, the corresponding color pad hits the page. Shockingly enough, the abstract paintings produced by the chromatic typewriter look like professional, beautiful abstract paintings. However, the design wouldn't be very practical because the paint would have to reapplied very often to each individual pad. Also, keeping the colors from running together across the page would be difficult at best, impossible at worst.
