Alien information display

I was watching an episode of Star Trek and some of the alien signage displayed in the background reminded me of the album art on Exai by Autechre. I read somewhere that the cover is an experiment in typography, and the forms not unlike the alien signage.

Anyway, that inspired me to create an alien information display … something that you might see on a display in the background of an alien ship on Star Trek.

You can view or edit the animation here.
