Wozencroft and Brody went on to found and publish FUSE – an experimental publication of graphics and experimental fonts. In 1999, Wozencroft released Touch & Fuse, a monograph anthologising his visual work, record sleeves and posters. In 2012, Wozencroft, together with scholar Paul Devereux, lanched the online research project Landscape & Perception, which resulted from five years of investigations into sound and landscape.
