The graphical language for the aliens in the film “Arrival”

Painting by Martine Bertrand upon which the language is based
http://www.martinebertrand-art.com/#oeuvres-rcentes-recent-works/2
Editorial Comment:  The film is well worth seeing and the team designed about 100 symbols and a methodology to create more.  Might be interesting to imagine such a language not only graphically but also sculpturally as well, a material speech.

Abstracting and Indexing Databases:
Review posted on Ulrich's site:

An interesting example of a privately issued electronic journal. As described in the mission statement of the journal, "The purpose of Solstice is to promote interaction between geography and mathematics." Articles are scholarly in presentation, with clear illustrations and charts. A number of the articles are written by the editor; the editorial advisory board lists individuals from throughout the country. Libraries should review and consider adding this to their collection of electronic journals.
