Learned bash: I found bash and text manipulating capabilities (commands such as grep, awk, shuf, but also fortunes and aliases) very inspirational.

Interesting to the see the computational take on language and use it along with semantics, pragmatics, socio- and even ethno-linguistics and concepts of philosophy and literary theory such as intentionality and reader-response and interactionism in its sociological sense.

Main points of interest: Language as the space of making meaning, the idea of a non-static, ever changing space, the futile effort to make language static, to give meaning a permanence that is unnatural, the dynamics and importance of language.

Future: An installation that will allow the visitor to experience language units (eg. words, sentences, maybe even phonemes as organic elements) as objects, explore the impact these objects have on them, challenge and change them (so, exposing the importance of the narrative and our power over it, understand that every construct can be deconstructed and rebuilt).
