This Kickstarter contains the long awaited and anticipated first volume of the Universal Transmissions Codex created by the Artist and Visual Alchemist Hakan Hisim. 

The Codex is 150 pages of bizarre beauty, a remarkable book unlike any other; some liken it to works like The Voynich Manuscript and Codex Seraphanius. Although there are similarities, its visually hyper detailed esoteric infographic style paired with groundbreaking artworks make this oddity a unique collectible. It is more than a book, the Universal Transmissions Codex is a condensed collection of 150 high quality art prints.

What is the Universal Transmissions Codex?

It is an amalgamation of many things, but to be more direct it is the result of an alchemical process; a concentrated distillation of my entire life's journey up this point (44 Years).

The Codex is a book that cannot be read, its purpose is NOT to be read. It is a book that was not written, but rather one that was woven into existence with a childlike fascination towards linguistics, etymology, semiotics, occulted esoterica, ecstatic trance states, the dream world and visionary experiences.

Weaved together with specific attention to the interrelation of sound, frequency, form, vibration and their and connection to an expansive syncretic synthesis. The Codex was not written, but captured, processed, distilled and then crafted with fanatic attention to detail coupled with an intense love of art, design, and magic.

Containing alphabets and syntax that I had created and re-remembered, It does have many parts that could potentially be "read". It also contains vast parts that are unintelligible in a linguistic sense, which play more to support the aesthetic quality and "inner meaning" of the particular page. Trying to "read" or decipher the codex, in my personal opinion, is completely missing the point and a waste of precious time.

The Universal Transmissions codex is an intentionally crafted enigma which creates a bold statement by its existence alone; Knowledge is borrowed, and Gnosis is absolute. The act of "learning" via reading, hearing, seeing is acquired and assumed until it is experienced. Gnosis is the distillation of experience. So it's not about trying to read the book, but rather experience it.

The Codex is an intentionally crafted experience that aims the initiate to lose themselves in that magic moment of wonder. The lack of linguistic value juxtaposed with an intense awareness of profound meaning, triggered by its visual semiotic construct. In other words, the experience is akin to "experiencing" a picture book, perhaps an encyclopedia, as a child who had not yet learned to read. Magic, wonder, and yet still meaning.

The roots of the Universal Transmissions Codex go back to my childhood, where I would fill journals with incomprehensible text and alphabets which I would remember from my dreams and pair them up with strange imagery. This is a practice I believe all children experience in their childhood in one form or another.

As I grew, and disconnected with inner self and identified more with the world and its struggles, those journals and the strange text, were all but forgotten. Until I re-discovered and re-remembered them in deep ecstatic states of trance. The Xenolinguistics became a bridge to connect my childhood and then present experience to begin weaving the first pages of what was going to become the Universal Transmissions Codex.

Almost exactly 10 years later, the first volume of the codex has manifested and ready for its owners.

"As within, so without"

Highest quality within and without

We took considerate time, care, and effort to find the best printer and book producer. The Codex is a very special work of art that deserves the highest quality!

The book itself is printed on the highest quality semi-gloss art paper with quality fabric head and tail bands with a soft fabric bound bookmark. It is bound together by PUR Binding. Polyurethane Reactive (PUR) is the most durable book binding glue available. It is far superior to Ethylene Vinyl Acetate (EVA) or any other adhesives used in traditional perfect binding.

What you are supporting and paying for is not just a book, or even an art book. The Universal Transmissions Codex is a labor of love that took 10 years to compile and complete. It is a result of many thousands of hours of work and a lifetime of experience. In simple terms think of it as 150 high quality prints bound together. In more accurate terms it is a unique esoteric tool to help connect oneself to the felt presence of immediate experience with a sense of awe and wonder. 

This is why we took the time to source the highest quality and find the right people to print it with the love it deserves.
