Obviously one of the main drawbacks with written language is the question of accurate translation. Then there is shared context, nuance and colloquialisms, all of which affect how a written piece conveys information and feelings. Cultural differences also affect how a piece of text can be interpreted. But can't the same sometimes be said of visual communication? Images convey information and feelings, but many of the same issues apply as with text - one's interpretation is coloured by environment, upbringing, mood, cultural influences etc. It is true that artistic conventions and 'codes' have been used to convey specific meanings in art for centuries. In some cases written language might convey a message or mood or idea better than an image which might be open to differing interpretations. Ask half a dozen people looking at an abstract work in an art gallery to describe what it conveys and you are likely to get several different interpretations. I believe there is a place for both forms of communication, and however many other forms there might be. Mind you, if you specify maths and physics, then images might well be the best basis of communication with non-human intelligences.....

Hi Tracy! Well, it is in the making. Since last week, it is not possible at this time to acquire Solars anymore. The only way until then was to pay for your Residency Fee to get 100 complementary Solars. Since that special offer was discontinued, it is not possible anymore to buy Solars. As to exchange them, well, you obviously can use them only on this asgardia.space website at this time with free easy ways to hand them to someone else on the platform by having them post a message and clicking on the button "Send solars" below their message. That's that easy. But that's all we have as of 21st January 2020 I'm afraid. Let's remain patient to hopefully see more soon!
