Tower of Babel
“Starting with the coded points of the four letters A. B. E, and L. a tower of Babel was designed. Applying the random point distortion routine resulted in Babel Shaken. It is one in a rather large series of graphic designs inspired by the Brazilian poet Pedro Xisto’s concrete poem (B)ABEL.”
