24runic

24runic is a digital art project and online persona created by artist and developer Alex Thorne. The project primarily focuses on the creation of visual art inspired by the Elder Futhark, an ancient runic alphabet. Thorne uses a variety of digital mediums, including generative art techniques, to produce pieces that explore the symbolism and aesthetics of the runes.

The output of 24runic often takes the form of abstract or semi-abstract imagery, where the runic characters are integrated into complex patterns and compositions. These works are frequently presented on platforms like Instagram and a dedicated website, where Thorne shares his creations and provides context about the runic systems that inspire them. The project aims to bridge ancient traditions with modern digital art practices, offering a unique perspective on rune interpretation and visual representation. Thorne's background in programming often informs the generative aspects of his art, allowing for algorithmic exploration of runic forms and their potential transformations. The project is an ongoing exploration of the intersection between language, spirituality, and digital creativity, with a consistent output of new visual works.
