CRYPTOGRAPHIC VERSES is an Ordinal inscription series composed of 101 encrypted phrases as text-based numerical emoji cyphers, originally written or curated from a diverse range of sources including Shakespeare, Emerson, Nietzsche, biblical passages, song lyrics, film dialogue, self-improvement and philosophical treatises, random internet chatter, historical quotations, and AI-generated content.

The distinctiveness of CRYPTOGRAPHIC VERSES lies in its blend of cryptography and visual art as a form of Neo-Hieroglyphic transmission. Each inscription is purely text-based code, and dually presents a sequence of numbers and an assemblage of emojis. This use of emojis as a modern communication language invites participants to engage with each Verse on a deeper, more instinctive level.

As a displayed artwork, the verse can take any number of appearances depending on the platform, operating system, and display utilized to view the text-based code. The Verse itself is the only permanent visual component of the artwork.

CRYPTOGRAPHIC VERSES are available for purchase on Gamma.
