Inhaltsangabe

The Backbone Alphabet is a combination of graphics, poetry, philosophy, history, optical illusions, and puzzle games. This work uses: —the opening poem “Seraph Sans Serif” to set a theme of the history of paradigm shifts in print, religion, and perception of reality; —the alphabet to show a historical progression of religion and philosophy from the beginning of the written word to postmodernism and the end of print; —poetry, graphics, and optical illusions in a way that makes philosophical themes fun; —the alphabet to show a historical progression of fonts and icons; —a progression of primary colors through black and white to represent the past and present; —the concluding poem “Mimicry” to imply that we are on the cusp of a new age for print; —and a separate booklet, Artist’s Code, for those who would like to see how their interpretations compare with the author’s intentions.
