Inspiration: Exhibit at Musée de Tahiti et des îles
Description: Just wanted to have fun animating letters, trying to come up with something interesting, slow, evolving. Maybe evoking synaesthesia? The colors of the letters (graphemes) correspond to the categories of ARPAbet consonants / vowels (phonemes) in the legend below. The mapping of graphemes to phonemes comes from some of my previous (non-academic, non-official) explorations.
