Nag Hammadi is a City in North Egypt, where archeologists found a library of books, most of them
with Gnostic texts, and all bound in similar style. These are the oldes codices that we know of.
For this interpretation I wanted to combine old and new assocciations in one book, in material
as well as in content. The modern apect is
mainly represented by computers: the circuit boards as covers (material), and a mother board design on the
interleaves of the book (content).
The old and traditional is represented by the material leather, and by the coding system I chose.
The text is written in a self developed cuneiform writing system, which is explained in a
booklet that comes together with these books. The language is actually English
and the text an excerpt from the Gospel of Thomas, one of the texts found in Nag Hammadi.
Coptic written language looks completly different, by the way, this was not an attempt to mimic
the original look.
I just followed again my general theory: Writing as such as an inherent beauty that is more
easily seen when one is unfamiliar with the writing system that was used.
