Abstract
This project explores asemic writing through world-building and institutional design. By creating a fictional museum housing three undeciphered scripts—an ancient geometric system, a present day fluid system and a futuristic modular script—the project investigates what visual characteristics allow marks to register as “language” even when semantic meaning is absent or inaccessible. Through typeface design, artifacts, and speculative curation, the work examines illegibility across temporal and cognitive distances, proposing that asemic writing reveals fundamental truths about how humans recognize, experience, and lose written communication.
