THE LOSS OF information AND sense

I am a contributing author of The Loss of Information and Sense, an anthology of selected, machine-made images and literary works by different authors on the subjects of language, information, meaning, and data.

The main topic of the book is the loss of information that occurs due to various forms of change. Here are some examples: Looking at the book’s images - which used to be PDFs, texts full of information - we find ourselves unable to retrieve most of their original content. They have been translated with a faulty dictionary.

What we see now is what is left after they have gone through a process of change. The information might still be there, but we are not able to see or understand it.

They might have obtained a new purpose, a visual, aesthetic or monumental one, but they still do something with us when we look at them.
