A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.

Do you look at art and try to decode?
A lot of times, yes. With surprising results.
For example, a form of letter substitution was made where different squiggle combinations were different letters, made so that a drawing can be drawn and the code could be visible in the lined drawing's lines, making sure the code was made in such a way that it could be used no matter what was being drawn.
Colors, shapes, sizes, noise, measurements, anything that can be distinguished into forms and types is potentially someone's communicating.
Oh cool - can you share the name of that work/those works?
I actually meant less "encrypted" artworks, but more "regular" works, where you would wonder the artists intent or try see what feelings the artwork can offer and why it works.
I could give the code, but not the works. I actually forgot what the works were with that (I looked).
In exactly sixty seconds, I'll post a relevant image to this page on this thread.
