The Beauty of the Written Word
At the birth of the written word writing was used to decorate walls and pillars, preserving the history and culture of the people. Writing was a decorative form of art that adorned plinths, pyramids and statues allowing information delivery in a beautiful way. In our modern digital age, the ability to preserve information is taken for granted. All information, pictures and music is stored in digital form to allow an easy mass storage of data. This experiment would like to revive the beauty and prestige of the written form, allowing it to be viewed and appreciated for its beauty as an image.
