Artist, storyteller, and geographer-at-large Eames Demetrios leads us on an exploration of a little-known language through an unlikely medium: cookies and crackers! Kcymaerxthaere (pronounced "ky-MAER-icks-theer") is a global installation storytelling art project that has created its own language from a parallel world--and it's a language that has been made into edible art with the help of some customized cookie-cutters. So far, the art project has 142 storytelling sites that you can actually visit in 30 nations. Each installation site honors events from the parallel world in our world. Most include written stories (in bronze, concrete and stone usually)—but it is not only what is written but where you experience reading the story (and, often, the forms that help tell it). Some installations are fairly elaborate—two are actually buildings, another is a couple hundred yards long. This article does a great job of explaining it: A Bizarre Journey Beyond Earth’s Borders.
