A collaborative print by Brandon Tay and Darius Ou
Charting a speculative timeline that ranges from the very origins of Chinese letterforms to a future where language changes the nature of time, this work utilizes a variety of diagrammatic schemes and typographical puzzles to explore the origins and future of language, from the divinatory nature of Oracle Bone Script, to the opacity of Heikeji (Black Science), it posits that our understanding of temporality is linked to our understanding of communication.
