Documenting Graphic Language I'm going to post on this space a series of graphic design work that I think is relevant to be documented. I started with Lou Dorfsman's work. The idea is post relevant images that exemplify how the terrestrials communicate apart from vocal language.

Words themselves are becoming antiquated. Rarely enough do we even find an arrangement as worthy as these: Today, Homo sapiens is faced with a rapid modification of his environment, a transformation for which he is the involuntary collective agent. I am not implying that our species is threatened with extinction or that the “end of the...

Soot, patience, and the dim whirling of stars make a destiny for even you, the sole heir to all of histories sunken steam ships, tomorrow’s breaking sunshine, and from darkness, a diamond cut to the inward shape of mystery: so clear, brilliant, rare. Indestructible soul kaleidoscope. Upon the anvil, the hammering hand...

I am feeling a disconnect. Despite the belief that we all connect. Is this the plight? I understand that it is you and I. It is we. Connected by energy. Thought and matter. By the bang, all of us came. Right? Born into a world populated by hundreds, thousands, millions, billions, one. All born to the SAME destiny. All to...

Professor: "Don't do anything that affects anything. Unless it turns out you were supposed to do it, in which case for the love of God. Don't not do it!" Fry: "Got it." During time travel it is possibly best not to disturb anything. But is the prime directive a great loss to human experience? I couldn't think of...

Get between 5 and 50 writers from space collective to each write chapters for a book, to then be collaborated and edited together and plausibly published. Most probably online.
