WTBA Championship Boxing est une animation non-linéaire créée par C.J. Yeh. L'animation consiste en l'affrontement de deux pugilistes, des polices de caractères comme Arial, Palatino, Eurostile, etc., composés à partir de symboles typographiques. Les personnages prenant l'apparence d'émoticônes en forme de boxeurs s'échangent des coups jusqu'à ce qu'un des deux adversaires ne soit mis KO. L'animation tourne en boucle, et modifie les combattants et l'issue du combat de fois en fois.

Notes

«Internet has become a major form of everyday communication, such as postal mail and telephone. Unlike the conventional ways of communicating, email and chatroom are type-based. Since there is no voice to be heard and no handwriting to be seen, the messages become generic and lack of human emotions. In order to compensate these unexpected shortcomings, a unique way of using type has developed where the type became a pictorial form :). Types are no longer limited as elements of words, but also components that can be used to construct images to enrich expression. The usage of this transformation in type will certainly decrease following the parid development of the Internet technology. Project WTVA Championship Boxing was developed to celebrate and record this interesing phenomenon in which an imaginary world of types. I have created a non-linear animation by utilizing simple computer programming languages. The match and the fighting sequence in this animation are randomly generated, and the winner is decided base on an automatic scoring system. As a result, the fight, the lenght of the animation, and the outcome will all be varied every time.» (http://rhizome.org/object.php?o=3172&m=1006435)
