In the third iteration, I used a TypeScript-based system developed through studio experiments to present text through an interface, transforming writing into executable code.
This can be understood as an attempt to translate natural language into machine language. During this translation, the text no longer maintains clear readability. It is no longer treated as a carrier of meaning, but instead becomes a set of instructions to be processed, optimised, and executed.
Critical language is reinterpreted as function names, vague concepts trigger error messages, and reflective paragraphs are either prematurely terminated or simplified.
Through this process, the meaning of the text is fundamentally altered. Writing no longer communicates a critical argument, but instead submits to the logic of the computational system, revealing how language is reduced when forced to adapt to computational structures. The entire text is translated into layers of structures, functions, and interpretations.
I argue that treating text as code carries the same implications as my visual experiments, as both involve a rigid interpretation of rules.
