Transcript

Asemic writing is a form of abstract,

Wordless writing that resembles traditional written language but lacks any specific semantic meaning.

It often looks like text with letters or symbols but is unreadable because it doesn't follow any recognizable linguistic structure.

The term Asemic,

Literally translated,

Means without meaning.

Asemic writing is used primarily as an artistic practice and can take on many forms,

From calligraphy-like strokes to abstract shapes that evoke the essence of language.

Artists and writers use Asemic writing to explore visual communication,

Emotion,

And creative expression beyond the constraints of words or conventional language systems.

It invites viewers to interpret the piece personally,

Tapping into intuition and imagination.

Some Asemic writing may appear to be inspired by known scripts like Latin,

Arabic,

Or Chinese characters,

Or maybe completely abstract,

Challenging the boundaries between writing and visual art.

Thank you for listening.
