>> Projected text on wall: The text of the author’s story is projected (next to the video) in two sections on the wall. Letters from the text are randomly selected and converted to Redux, a font I created by paring down “extraneous” portions of each letter from the western alphabet. As the conversion process progresses, the text becomes more and more indecipherable (the more it is pared down, the less sense it makes).






 

>> Projected text on book: The text projected on the book manifests itself in three different modes or “chapters.” In Chapter 1, words are randomly selected and transformed into a randomly selected synonym. Because of the varying length of each synonym, the text shifts to accommodate each emerging word, creating a constantly changing physical landscape that accompanies the continually changing syntactical one. In Chapter 2, words randomly begin to disappear, leaving gaps in the overall text. In Chapter 3, the reverse happens – words randomly appear on a blank page (missing context as opposed to missing words).
