It is a book that uses Zaum language written in patamathematical prose (the characters used are international phonetic alphabet and can technically be pronounced), each page is designed independently (by me), and includes about 18 images of biomorphic figures by Japanese artist Kenji Siratori (all writing and design, however, is mine).

The guiding idea behind the book is that hidden away amidst the frequency signals of information technologies, a novel undecipherable universal language (a kind of techno-Zaum inspired by Cubo-Futurists Velimir Khlebnikov and Aleksei Kruchenykh) is autonomously and autopoietically taking shape outside the experience, knowledge, or access of humans. In this sense, the book isn't asemic; instead, it can be thought of as an extended analogue to the ways autonomous informational processes optimize themselves in ways that we no longer fully understand - it is like a window into the black box of info and communications tech. In a way, it could be considered a conceptual graphic novel or a work of visual poetry.
