This exhibition presents a collection of creative research and artistic expression that explores language as a machine. A machine that compresses, records, and transmits collective cultural knowledge. A machine of many operators servicing many objectives. A machine that labors degrade, is repaired, and upgraded. A machine that calculates and predicts. A machine that remembers and forgets.
