Albuquerque-based visual artist Karl Orozco disassembles broken inkjet printers, coats their components in CMYK ink and stamps them onto large-format paper to create vibrant relief prints that are part forensic investigation, part monument to planned obsolescence.

Designer Yazmin Salgado approaches typography as something that can live beyond the page.
