Open the book at any of its paired compositions and you encounter two forms of writing.On the left, a plate from The Chimeric Protocols of Transmutation: a visual construction shaped by glyphs, pathways, boundaries and relations.

Why Release the Book Simultaneously in Spanish and English?
The simultaneous Spanish and English release of The Chimeric Protocols of Transmutation / The Book of Split Ink reflects the book’s own logic of duality and relation. Rooted in Barcelona yet conceived for an international readership, the two editions act as parallel linguistic bodies around the same visual-symbolic architecture—one work, two languages, and a shared field of meaning.
This Book Is for You If You Want More Than a Story
If you are an art lover who enjoys looking as deeply as reading, or a reader drawn to symbolism, experimentation, transformation, and hidden structures, this book was designed with you in mind.

My ambition is to develop it into a language in which an image can be read, a sentence can be seen, a … Continue reading CGS: Toward a New Language Between Image and Literature
