An animation on ambigrams created by Mara Ang Chong LaiThis piece is about "Ambigrams" or "wordplay" -- a term coined by Douglas R. Hofstadter and popularized by Scott E.Kim. The most recent commission is the wordplay title created by John Langdon for the book Angels and Demons written by Dan Brown (author of The Da Vinci Code). Ambigram is never a mainstream form of art and is insofar esoteric to a group of ambigrammists. As in Latin ,ambi stands for both and gram stands for letter. As a noun, it is a word or words that can be read in more than one way or from more than one vantage point. Ambigrams' ambiguity can be read in at least two different ways such as both right side up, upside down, mirror reflection, right to left, etc. Ambigrams can induce evolution to our senses and sensibilities to attain a transcended perception. Henceforth, the multiplicities of possibilities within our hypothetical world -- choices disguised in a reel attempt at silent dialogue.

Hey ChongLai :)Thanks for replying so quickly! I'm glad you liked my work! I saw you are quite a designer! :o You're successful in advertising too! Nice site and portfolios you've got, keep up the good work!The ambigram-video co-production only just started and will surely take quite some time to create, as multiple ambigrams will have to be created just for the occassion :) I'll make sure to notify you when it is finished!Have a nice day and I hope we'll stay in touch!Martijn Slegers

Hey Chonglai! I really liked your video! Commenting on an old video is okay, I hope? :) Are you still creating ambigrams? I hope you do, because it's such a nice hobby! I create ambigrams too :) You can find them if you google my name (Martijn Slegers) along with the word "Ambigrams" ;) I make custom ambigrams for a price, if anyone is interested? I'll be posting my own video on youtube in the future, with the help of a friend :) I hope people will go and watch it! :)
