Notes in Linear B

An exhilarating research and collaboration with armiriki about Linear B.

The decipherment of linear b, the earliest adaptation of greek language into a script, revealed a world of laborious palace administration, widespread trade, religious offerings and military campaigns. It was a syllable based script with numerous ideograms, which flourished and declined along with the mycenaean civilization (1600–1100 bc). This series depicts characteristics of its cultural signature through a selection of prominent ideograms decorated with geometric period motifs, in a combination of linguistic and artistic elements of that time.

The designs compose an artist story presented in a series of limited edition t-shirts for their store.
