How can research findings, personal experiences, and complex ideas be translated into a concise visual identity? 45 Symbols—Clay to Code explores how emerging artists and designers respond to this question: inspired by one of the most enigmatic objects in media history—the 3,700-year-old, still undeciphered Phaistos Disc, embossed with 45 distinct symbols—they develop systematic approaches to visual language. Ranging from personal narratives to global issues, the featured works demonstrate how an original visual grammar can be constructed. 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.
