## Asemic Writing

Asemic Writing is described as

\*\*\*"\**a wordless open* [*semantic*](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semantics) *form of* [*writing*](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Writing)*.*[*<sup>[1]</sup>*](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asemic_writing#cite_note-auto-1)[*<sup>[2]</sup>*](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asemic_writing#cite_note-2)[*<sup>[3]</sup>*](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asemic_writing#cite_note-3) *The word asemic* [*/eɪˈsiːmɪk/*](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:IPA/English) *means "having no specific semantic content", or "without the smallest unit of meaning".*[*<sup>[4]</sup>*](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asemic_writing#cite_note-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*](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asemic_writing)

Inspired by this p5js sketch : [https://openprocessing.org/sketch/1794432](https://openprocessing.org/sketch/1794432), I decided to make an Asemic Quine by using my font via [***FontStruct***](https://fontstruct.com/fontstructions/show/2231848/asemicwriting2)

Quine : *" is a* [*computer program*](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_program) *which takes no input and produces a copy of its own* [*source code*](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Source_code) *as its only output." -* [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quine\_(computing)](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 :

[https://blog.illestpreacha.com/what-is-that-pattern-trying-to-say-part-1](https://blog.illestpreacha.com/what-is-that-pattern-trying-to-say-part-1) to have a poem appear in the font
