Prototype #1 Pure HTML home page
Prototype #2 Nomai home page
A home page using the Nomai Script[1] to map out the website.
Each branch of the script links to a page, allowing for a non-linear reading, wandering and mystery.
The script is acting as a code, making also a mise en abîme between the script itself and web languages.
[1] The Nomai Script
The Nomai Script is an ancient fictional language created for the video game Outer Wilds. The Nomais were an ancient population that explored galaxies and left traces of their passage by writing on various surfaces. The script resembles spirals with branches and complex architecture. The spirals almost loop into each other, forming entire conversations.
