Language Infinity Sphere (Recording) is part of a larger series of sculptures and prints made with thousands of old metal letterpress blocks. While the function of these letters has been overtaken by new methods of printing and distributing texts, their arrangement follows the logic of form rather than an alphabetical order—an encryption that formulates the instability of knowledge, or perhaps a lost or new language.
