45 Symbols—Clay to Code examines how emerging artists and designers develop systematic approaches to a visual language, inspired by one of the most enigmatic objects: the 3,700-year-old undeciphered Phaistos Disc, embossed with 45 distinct symbols.
How can research findings, personal experiences, and complex ideas be translated into a concise visual identity?
Over more than a decade, the internationally hosted design seminar series The Phaistos Project—Forty-five Symbols have evolved into a global community—driven by open calls, workshops, exhibitions, and risograph publications. This volume, 45 Symbols—Clay to Code, brings together over 2,000 symbols as the result of this collaborative endeavor. It stands not only as a living archive of research inquiries but also as a testament to collective experimentation, bold visions, and the expression of intercultural dialogue.
