abstract

Notating accidental letter fragments falling from the mechanism of the installation Signal to Noise, the works trace the moment where meaning dissolves into noise and noise begins to produce its own meaning.

square: 60x60cm, 120x120cm

text

Derived from the generative installation Signal to Noise, these notations extend the work's central question into a static form. Composed of accidental letter fragments, they draw the viewer into a maze of possible readings and interpretations. Yet no message is hidden within them. What appears as language remains suspended between noise and meaning, leaving the work as an open question to the viewer.
