Asemic Effects

This work is a 2-part user experience research inquiry into the legibility of abstracted codes and gestures. 

The 1st exhibited experiment is a coded writing system that replaces the Latin alphabet with a radial logographic system. Viewers of the exhibition were encouraged to write their names using the animated key as a guide. The 2nd body of work is a generative code that simulates gestural kinetic activity, reimagining the act of writing through code and randomness.
