Hieroglyph caps
« on: Wed, 21 August 2013, 06:03:52 »


This is an art project:
Quote
In this ongoing series titled Unlikely, artist and photographer Giuseppe Colarusso imagines bizarre and humorous objects, each of which is either technically impossible, improbable, or simply useless in its proposed design. Colarusso tells me via email that many of the pieces he fabricates himself, however some are digitally created in Photoshop. So what’s the point? He hopes each image will make you stop, think and hopefully bring a smile to your face, which is definitely a worthy cause.

"Because keyboards are accessories to PC makers, they focus on minimizing the manufacturing costs. But that’s incorrect. It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada

I thought it would be fun to do a groupbuy with ancient languages some time. Like Akkadian/Sumerian, Phonecian, Egyptian Hieroglyphs, Norse Runes, whatever else that is cool looking.

they used sticks with a triangle end, and the narrow parts were drug to make the lines
it's called cuneiform, very old, and a cool writing structure
