abstract

Eight letters display showing words randomly generated letter by letter. This writing process replaces the traditional narrative with a system whose logic leads to a playful approach to sense and nonsense, to a concrete poetry and an agnostic vision that encourages the viewers interpretation and association.

project text

The installation is an light sign consisting of eight letters. Which words are displayed depends on a process that randomly generates one letter after the other and simultaneously checks the existence of the respective combination in a dictionary; if this does not exist, the process starts all over again until a word is created. This writing process replaces the traditional narrative with a system whose logic leads to a playful approach to sense and nonsense, to an artistic and concrete poetry, an agnostic vision that encourages the viewers interpretation and association.
