Modern Codex

Modern Codex was a topology project, collecting different codes that also serve as communication tools. They might not be languages, however its functions are the same or identical.

The differentiations between codes and languages where codes are not meant to be read by everyone and is only intended to be read by those who can decipher them. These codes could be considered as exotic languages.

By collecting them and putting them together in a book you can see how what seems like a graphical representation of nothing can still have meaning at its core.
