Excerpt

Codified systems of communication—such as writing, reading, and speaking—rely on pre-existing infrastructures of meaning to make sense. Concepts, emotions, and values are siphoned through the filter of language to become programmable and efficient. In this way, today’s communication systems regulate how we think and perpetuate spaces where nothing can be said without immediate interpretation.

I wonder: how we can escape the tyranny of monolinguistic thinking? How do we think in images? How do we think in lines? How can we expand how we communicate?

 We work with great concern for craft, magic and curiosity. We are guided by rigorous, methodical and obsessive techniques. Our propositions reveal in the complexities of an existence caught between matter and data. It is within these bounds that we touch this mystical world in which we reside in and desire to share. We unveil the strangeness in convention, the precision in ambiguity and the alien within the human.
