For this experiment I will be Identifying gestures that are already Universal. Then I will produce a list of bodily signs that mean the same thing in all cultures. So with “gestures” as my main focus I did a mind map showing my thought process. Then while doing a search for “Universal Language”, I came across an article on telegraph.co.uk about a study done on non-verbal communication at the University of Chicago in 2008.

According to the study, “When people can only communicate with hand gestures, they speak a kind of “universal language”.” So with that in mind I started looking at the representation of hands in ancient cultures.

I have been sketching out ideas for the next installment of my book series for some time now and have come to a few good points on which to start. The first is the development of an entirely new asemic script that will hopefully guide the direction for the whole piece. Let me share my thinking and some of my process with you. I have created several asemic writing systems before, each from very different starting points; the first was an automatic, handwritten script, developed over years of filling up pages in dull meetings: This led to the development a set of formalised glyphs, based upon a jaunty 45° angle directly lifted from the hand written script: These two variants were the initial inspiration for the first book ‘Four Fools’ and were used throughout: As I was putting the finishing touches to Four Fools I decided to continue to develop the theme and aim for a series of four books.

I was pleased with this but also felt that it had some more to give. This brings us up to date. All good ideas arrive by chance. A Gallery Of Asemic Writing: New asemic writing from Jeff Hansen.

Asemic Writing is where the pen or brush moves without any conscious intent of the writer, except submission to the loss of his individual will. Most people can't do this at all, so the people who find themselves doing it find themselves special, even when the effect lacks a certain impact.

Individual will is a tutored effect. Society can not inspire an evolved being, so it has to assimilate him, convert him, subvert his evolution. Evolution, on the other hand, is submission to the loss of conditioned individual will, by the virtue of relationship. As long as there is a conscious (programmed self) Asemic Writing lacks grace. Credulousness is when the process of being made more useful to duplicitous exploiters leaves us presuming to have become superior.

An Asemic Font? | Lestaret's Blog. Following my rather sarcastic post featuring my ongoing explorations in asemic writing, I decided to take it a step further and see if there was any natural structures forming in my sketches, and to work it up into some format that could be converted into type. I began by selecting a small section that appeared to be visually quite consistent: Taking the diagonal as my lead stroke, I drew up a simple grid using a fairly rakish 45° angle. I made a conscious decision at this point to accentuate the diagonal dynamic as I wanted to continue to development as I progressed from paper sketches to screen: I’m using Adobe Illustrator CS4 for this (still thinking about CS5!) And placed in the original image and tidied it up in Livetrace. Using a standard line/brush combo, I created a symbol from several lines, sometimes joined, and sometimes not. I spent some time creating continuous line loops. OK, I admit I was a little excited at this point. This style is a little more consistent.

The script has been developed to a point where I can begin putting it into use, and I have been busy doing just that, with about half of the pages already completed for the new book. I am now at a point where I need to expand on the script more, and explore some new avenues and structures. I had decided to see if the glyphs could be ‘unscripted’ and transformed into something more mechanical. I began by losing all the curves and creating an angled geometric version: This reminds me of decorated Ndebele houses, Navajo textiles and square Kufic script… I converted three lines to see how the various shapes translated and couldn’t help myself in applying them to a stone panel.

I have not abandoned the hand drawn script script either. So I spent a little time experimenting with slab serifs… which put me in mind of an old favourite typeface from my college years; Lubalin Graph. If only my efforts were as well crafted!

The Blog. A few years ago I was invited to participate in a cross-Atlantic project, where comic-based artists from Europe created display-scale images based on comics from America, and vice versa. (a much fuller, better description can be found at Altered Aesthetics blog on the show). And here's a link to my own account of how my participation got a bit balls-up. The Intercorstal: Collider is the mini-comic I produced for the project, combining 'traditional' inked Intercorstal pages with pages created by scanning pages from an IKEA catalogue, overlaying them with panel borders and adding captions, picked at random from Wikipedia.

Whether the IKEA-based pictures are successful by themselves isn't what I'm particularly worried about. You can't claim to be creating experimental comics without experimenting, after all. I've posted a small selection of the pages -- below there's a link to download the PDF from sendspace. [hand]writing does not just contain semantic information. it also. New satellites. GUILLERMO DEISLER: 10 years after his death by Clemente Padín “IT HAPPENS THAT SOMETIMES I AM TIRED OF BEING A STRANGER” Guillermo Deisler was born in Santiago, Chile, in 1940, an died in Halle, Germany, in 1995. We celebrate this year the tenth anniversary of the death of one of the most important, pioneer and influential poets of the 60s generation. One who was capable of placing Chile in the middle of the alternative art-world scene.

In his exile he wrote poems that at first right seemed to allude to his political condition, far from his land and roots. Nevertheless his purpose was directed towards an absolute sameness of land and country, towards a world without frontiers, nationalisms or chauvinism, a world made for “bird-men” who shared an unlimited space in it. From this thought comes his “feather”, his object symbol, a major theme in his exceptional work. Features. Michael Jacobson interviews Tim Gaze &Michael Jacobson: Give me a little background on who you are?

I know you consider yourself to be an author instead of the more general term artist. Tim Gaze: When I was 16, I realized that I wanted to be a writer. At the time, I played Dungeons & Dragons & other role-playing games, & read a lot of fantasy fiction, science fiction & reference books on mythology. My ambition was to write Celtic fantasy novels. In my 20s, I wrote abortive fragments of a Celtic fantasy novel & a thriller. From 1996 or so, I began looking for like-minded people overseas. Getting back to your question... My primary intention with all this asemic stuff is to compile books, printed in black & white, influenced by typographic design, rather than being art books. I have an idea that simple black marks on white paper penetrate the mind deeply & quickly. "The poem, as written, is incomplete, to be completed by the act of interpretation.

TG: We humans don't think in words. August | 2011 | Lestaret's Blog. I am currently working on a new CD design project for singer/songwriter Jon Lawrence. You may recall other projects I have done for Jon in recent years – click on the thumbnails below to see more of these. In our initial meeting I was, as usual, given a disc to listen to whist working and we discussed a few things to establish a starting point for the design. This is a great thing about working with musicians, Jon especially so, as he brings vague notions and impressions rather than direct instructions. So, no set format, no theme, no symbolism. We both said that the standard jewel case did not seem appropriate and recalled previous conversations about the expense of those nice brown recycled card sleeves – not so much the sleeves themselves, but more in the printing and assembly. And I also showed a few examples of linocut carving styles: Japanese stab binding is a simple, effective and visually attractive form of binding - I have used it many times in my bookbinding projects:

I thought this was an interesting experiment by scientist/mucisian Manfred Clynes. (emotion : pressure + time) "Specific emotions --- anger, hate, grief, love, sex, joy and reverence --- produce distinct muscle movement. They’re the same in Mexico, Japan, Indonesia, and upstate New York. " (.. ) (.. )"I decided to use the expressive pressure movement of one finger as a standardized basic measure of expressed fantasized emotion. In my experiments, the subject sits in a straight-back chair and rests the middle finger of his right hand on a finger rest. I ask him to fantasize a given emotion (say, anger or love) for the next few minutes.

I tested it in this drawing; (pressure roughly translated in speed+size). A Gallery Of Asemic Writing: 6 from Bastien Conus.
