CORN

I was playing around on the computer the other day and came up with a corn design.   For awhile now I've been interested in the language of computers, especially the "picture" language of symbols, emoticons, and computer acronyms.    The characters remind me of the ancient Aztec language, they too used a "picture" language.    The Aztecs developed a system of pictures that they used as their alphabet.  They had hundreds of different picture symbols.   They would then join these symbols together into sentences.   I think the language of symbols/emoticons  is really interesting and something that seems like it would have a lot of potential for exploration.    I can see combining the new language with traditional or even ephemeral materials and doing so with ancient techniques or it could also be interesting doing it with very modern computer driven techniques (laser, CAM, etc. ) I think it could potentially be approached both ways and be successful.  We'll see!
