Interesting! I hadn't found anybody else doing this back when I "typeset" my thesis in a subpixel font. I even build my own tool in Processing for designing the font. A part of my graduation was making an installation of our thesis for the exhibition so people could "read" my thesis. I build an installation with a LCD screen, a USB microscope and a projector. You can find it over here: http://www.thomasjonas.nl/project/a-new-aesthetic-for-text (sorry mobile users)

The thesis was about how the aesthetics of tools/technology can influence the aesthetic of art, so I thought this installation was a pretty fitting idea.
