Cosmic Signs is part of a series of generative works that explore the algorithmic space of typographic signs, symbols and glyphs. This latest work builds on my first piece, Cosmic Type, released in July 2022. The series is informed by my interest in language, signs, meaning at large and more specifically inspired by the early pioneering work of the concrete poets such as Dom Sylvester Houédard, Ian Hamilton Finley, Steve McCaffe and Bob Cobbing.

Thank you for collecting.
