The graphical language for the aliens in the film “Arrival”

https://www.wired.com/2016/11/arrivals-designers-crafted-mesmerizing-alien-alphabet/

Painting by Martine Bertrand upon which the language is based

http://www.martinebertrand-art.com/#oeuvres-rcentes-recent-works/2

Editorial Comment:  The film is well worth seeing and the team designed about 100 symbols and a methodology to create more.  Might be interesting to imagine such a language not only graphically but also sculpturally as well, a material speech.
