Area Codes is a collection highlighting diffusion channels and the displacement of communication through localized variants of a global cultural heritage; humanity's shared historical oral-literary tradition.

This collection is the lovechild of procedurally-generated fractals, digital hand-painting, and displacement maps based on William Willoughby III's palettes.

Unlock includes 3000x3000 resolution image. One edition. Issue #2 of the Area Codes collection.
