During special issue 13, I especially worked with the text « HOPE » by Gurur Ertem and « Zero » by Ogutu Muraya. Ertem proposed solutions to find a light to face the current political and social darkness. Among them, I was fascinated by « recognition of pluralism ». So, I focused on manifesting plural voices on the original text and these voices are represented in accumulated form on multiple HTML pages. Firstly, XPUB students participate to Ertem’s text through annotations during the class. And with Python NLTK, I made the narrator change in every page refresh, which is the metaphor of standing in others shoes. In parallel, as Muraya’s way to brighten the darkness, I made an empty space, a space of Zero, where the reader takes time for reflection and becomes the author. | During special issue 13, I especially worked with the text « HOPE » by Gurur Ertem and « Zero » by Ogutu Muraya.

During special issue 13, I especially worked with the text « HOPE » by Gurur Ertem and « Zero » by Ogutu Muraya. Ertem proposed solutions to find a light to face the current political and social darkness. Among them, I was fascinated by « recognition of pluralism ». So, I focused on manifesting plural voices on the original text and these voices are represented in accumulated form on multiple HTML pages. Firstly, XPUB students participate to Ertem’s text through annotations during the class. And with Python NLTK, I made the narrator change in every page refresh, which is the metaphor of standing in others shoes. In parallel, as Muraya’s way to brighten the darkness, I made an empty space, a space of Zero, where the reader takes time for reflection and becomes the author.

In this project, I talked about my dérive as a foreign woman in Europe; encountering strange local men who commit sexual harassment just for fun. Their interruption makes a huge difference between my dérive and the dérive of an Italian plumber. The game users take a stroll as a yellow cat and hear sexually and racist comments that Asian women often got on the street. This game aims to share our inconveniences with others who have never had such experiences and to give Asian women a chance to defeat urban harassment offenders.

Project
Title: Frabjousish
Frabjousish, a compound word of Frabjous (an invented word by Lewis Carroll; fair, fabulous and joyous) and -ish (suffix meaning relating to), is the first countermeasure that I presented in my thesis. I am creating a virtual universe where "correct" nor "wrong" language doesn't exist. A blessing in disguise, the language crime such as mispronouncing, misusing of a word or grammar errors are used as a source to create the language of this universe, Frabjousish
Users are invited to bring their slip of the tongue anecdote. From their contribution, a new word is invented. Using those invented words, Frabjousish users speak so, write so and play so in the Looking-Screen World.
Frabjousish is a gesture of so-called linguistic criminals, in reality, to promote language equality and resist the violence of Standard language.
