Asemic Quine
The prompt for Genuary 2023 Day 14 is Asemic Writing
Asemic Writing is described as
***"*a wordless open semantic form of writing . [1] [2] [3] The word asemic /eɪˈsiːmɪk/ means "having no specific semantic content", or "without the smallest unit of meaning". [4] With the non-specificity of asemic writing there comes a vacuum of meaning, which is left for the reader to fill in and interpret." - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asemic_writing
Inspired by this p5js sketch : https://openprocessing.org/sketch/1794432 , I decided to make an Asemic Quine by using my font via FontStruct
Quine : " is a computer program which takes no input and produces a copy of its own source code as its only output." - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quine_(computing)
To follow this rule, I decided to have the text layered over each other and have it jittery while making components appear at random. In the second usage of asemic writing, I used a conlang (constructed language) in conjunction with a remixed version of a previously coded p5js sketch :
