This project is a series of program-generated calligrams. Each edition uses two sequences of text, one intended to produce a rhythm, a motif, while the second is a phrase or nominal group. The composition evokes instantaneity, repetition, the beginnings of computer technology and the generative art of the 60s and 70s, and bears witness to the material with which it was created: language. Although it takes the form of a literary object, we soon realize that, through repetition, it tends towards an exhaustion of the text: the written word almost loses its meaning, and each letter becomes a purely visual sign.
Series in progress, programming, plotter, technical pen and Bristol paper.
