Objects under investigation is a collection of separately conceived works that address the problem of textually-related media and, in a sense, mediality in art from an experimental perspective. The word “object” is meant as a neuter reference to both text as a phenomenon and text as a product in itself. It evokes the idea of something to be physically handled, while not necessarily being a physical object. As stated by Rosalind Krauss, any medium may bring about art, and the special condition conventionally called post-mediality involves using media traditionally not intended to make art. Considering the medium in relation to broadly conceived textual objects is particularly challenging. The issue cannot, in fact, be limited to the invention of a set of unreadable signs apparently disjointed from reality, as in the case of asemic writing, nor to the combination of such signs with alphabets or languages drawn from widely disparate fields, as occurs in other hybrid forms. The process of writing becomes open, yet more inherent, and the concept of medium is reframed. Moreover, since writing is hardly separable from reading, a further—and possibly even more complex—field of investigation arises: what does it mean to “read” something asemic; does it make sense to attempt to sequence an asemic pattern?
