About this exposition

def A B S T R A C T()

This exposition explores how textual misinterpretations—specifically those arising from a custom-built text-processing script—can serve as a form of artistic co-authorship through deliberate (automated) misinterpretation.

Drawing on the Dadaist cut-up tradition and insights from Alvin Lucier (1969) and John Searle (1980), this exposition examines how systemic limitations produce valuable creative disruptions. The resulting works, In Rome, Blues for N0, and Walk Away, are discussed as outputs of a research-through-practice methodology grounded in iterative transformation, randomness, and miscommunication.
