A storybook revealing messages in every language ever written

Secret Resonance

Text samples from the past 10,000 years, curated from the open source collections at the Metropolitan Museum of Art — cuneiform tablets, heiratic papyrus, bronze military diplomas, a Quran, letters, notes, books, and more — woven into one tapestry telling the story of everything, of written communication throughout history, moving from right to left.

Inspired by an online "Storybook"-themed photomanipulation contest.
