Neural breakdowns (4) : 'simply put'

An original tweet published by the Wh!te H0use and two aberrant generated variations of it are interpreted by a text recognition model. These interpretations - nonsensical for the most part - are then used as prompts to compose an asemic handwritten letter.
This is a first (mostly improvised) attempt at perverting from within the decoupling between, on one hand, the probabilistic power games deploying empty signifiers to overload social media users and play with their potential reactions, and, on the other, the very materiality of these signifiers and their meaningful coupling with the world. Hence the idea of taking the most provocatively obscene textual manifestations of a fascist administration and transduce them into an expressive asemic writing able to re-embody the relational and signifying materiality of language despite emerging from a space of probabilistic remixes that flattens and dissolves all meaning.
