Ekphrasis; language encryption

   This project compares the de-encryption systems of two separate cultures in different times, which nevertheless respond to parallel modes: QR  code encryption processes (the Western World in the 20-21st century) and cufic geometric (the Islamic world in the 15th century onwards), where both are part of daily cultural landscapes during their times.

    I show how language is used In both cases, to hide-unveil references corresponding to the concept of a higher universe; in one instance religious in the other digital; religious theogony and the ubiquity of the technological cloud.

    In both cases one needs to translate the symbols, to decipher with  technologies of knowledge or mechanics.
