Involuntary Conversion
Involuntary Conversion
Meaning is stunned by language, words function as weapons. The language of the new media appears to be a rhetoric low-flying bomber operating in such a minimal altitude that his strategy of mystification and annihilation of the proper meaning of words cannot be registered any more by our radar of everyday perception. A bunch of very finely constructed language mutations, taken from various media sources, are being re-translated and projected into the urban landscape where they have the most destructive effect. The threatening potential of these artificial language bombs is almost physically experienced and revealed.
