Asemic writing has been around for centuries, but it has only recently begun to gain wider recognition. In the early 20th century, artists such as Wassily Kandinsky and Joan Miró experimented with asemic writing in their paintings and drawings. In the 1960s and 1970s, concrete poets such as Emmett Williams and bpNichol began to explore the possibilities of asemic writing in their own work.

Today, asemic writing is being used by artists, writers, and musicians around the world. It is being used to create everything from abstract paintings to generative music. Asemic writing is a unique and powerful form of expression that has the potential to communicate in ways that words cannot.
