Asemic Compositions
Proponent : Guilherme Pinkalsky
I am a visual artist based in São Paulo, Brazil and I’ve been researching asemic writing (or abstract writing) for about six years, both in long exposure photography in order to create quasi calligraphic lines that resembles handwriting and on digital text, by mixing several languages characters and accentuation, creating compositions that sometimes breaks the text boxes by forcing unusual Unicode combination and by using this I get a result similar to street graffiti, the disruptive signs that are almost incomprehensible, but are still aesthetic.
Objective :
To create and mint one composition per day, using several medias as image, gif and video and sell on writersguild.mintbase1.near - Mintbase Store, sharing 25% with Writers guild and share them daily on Social Media both on my own pages and on writers-guild’s with Near related hashtags and writers guild tags as well
both on social media and on mintbase I will put the text compositions on the description, so it can spread and break more text boxes
Justification:
Asemic writing is a wordless open semantic form of writing. The word asemic /eɪˈsiːmɪk/ means “having no specific semantic content”, or “without the smallest unit of meaning” even though it is is still capable of being poetic.
Context:
I have been creating those on Social media in order to create a necessary noise (I think) on social media news feed, a place dominated by imposed subjects daily, and a really toxic ambient for artists such as myself, Zuck asks me money everyday for all pages I manage there, lol, but I am always sharing for free lots of arts there without any visibility, so on the day I saw this word “ฬ็็็็็็็็็็็็็็็็็็็็็็Oฬ็็็็็็็็็็็็็็็็็็็็็็”, in 2016 that is also not really a word since it cant be read, though it is made of characters I felt a urge to learn and use this language to protest, and I have been banned there several times for creating those.
