You can read an interesting short statement (along w/ 4 textual works) w/ Tim over at Muse Apprentice Guild.
The lookreading experience of Asemic 5 is like transformative immersion; a transmuted cognitive form escaping the uniformity of interpretation & offers Heidegger's " other possibilities of utterance " -- ideographic nondiscursivity threshed to the limits of reading and seeing, writing and drawing; asemic writing is an instrument accessible to all sighted peoples, regardless of national or cultural language & it's in that asemiosphere which avoids the thorny ethical dilemma involved w/ the violence of translation -- it acts as a direct interface, immediate osmosis bypassing normal/habitual linguistic mental-processing; situated in that interzone outside any linguo-culturo-centric identity.
Glottogenesis led to sociogenesis, which led to cultural conditioning in forming who we think we are -- asemic writing can be a tool (or a form of unwordly magic) to rupture the 'games of communication' inherent in the economic & taxonomic language structure; thus decentralizing the system of sign-and-its-interpretant & offering a more universal topology of informational construction.
Essential reading on this subject can be found here (in pdf format):

a short ramble-rant from me:
if one denies asemic writing as having no significance whatsoever (just abuncha scribbles, pffft), then one also denies any nonverbal elements associated w/ language -- kinesic, proxemic, tactile, gestural etc etc -- & that's an absurd position for one to take , because the above noted nonverbal elements of bodily semiosis are undeniable.

Hey, did you see the piece by my son in it? It's the one marked "alm." He made it at the ripe old age of 2 years and 2 months. With no help or prompting from daddy whatsoever.
yep, coolstuff -- he already has an "expressive line" !
he's lucky to have you as his father, whatta brimming bookshelf to explore & markmaking materials for the playzone.
sometimes, i try to regain my preliterate capacity via left-hand, the lack of "muscle memory" for writing w/ that hand can deliver interesting results, but really i'd like to be ambidextrous & do symmetrical double-handed drawings the way Dieter Roth did, his 'fast drawings' are incredible.
i can't believe i didn't mention
the new post-literate
it's a great gallery of asemic writing.
