Rammellzee

New York artist, graffiti writer and rapper, author of Gothic Futurism and Ikonoklast Panzerism. His claim: the alphabet is a set of entities that were captured and standardised by medieval monks in the scriptorium, and the writer's task is to arm the letters — to build them weapons, armour and rocketry — so they can break the meaning imposed on them.

⭐⭐⭐ THE MOST FEROCIOUS LETTER-MYSTICISM OF THE TWENTIETH CENTURY, AND IT ARRIVED WITHOUT THE KABBALAH. The tradition this app is built on holds that the letters are the instruments of creation, that they are not passive marks, and that what is done to them is done to the world. Rammellzee reached that on a subway car, with a spray can, by way of a theory about Carolingian scribes. He also identified the same enemy the tradition worries about: the moment a living script is standardised is the moment something is taken from it. ⚠ No chain. None. This is the strongest evidence in the whole app that some ideas are simply available to anyone who looks at an alphabet long enough.
