VISIBLE SPEECH

Reading-performance, live coding with Olivia Jack's Hydra platform, December 2025.

This performance is a reading of quotes from Jack Goody's Graphic Reason and Robert Bringurst's The Solid Shape of Language, which discuss the influences between writing and language and writing as an instrument of power. As the text is read, it regains a fluid and unpredictable form thanks to glitch effects. Speech is thus freed from all the conventions imposed on writing.
