Decanter of Endless Water, Issue 6, Soanyway Magazine (online)
Decanter of Endless Water uses analogue and digital technologies to transform words and their intended meaning, taking inspiration from Marcel Broodthaers’ La Pluie (projet pour un texte) (1969). Text sourced from Advanced Dungeons & Dragons trading cards was typewritten and distorted by exposure to water at varying durations in accordance with the card’s description: a corresponds to a Stream (1 minute submerged in water), b to a Fountain (5 minutes), and c to a Geyser (10 minutes) which rendered the type completely illegible. A mobile app for Optical Character Recognition was then used to provide a final formatted text from each scanned document. The app’s inconsistencies are revealed in its inability to read the distorted, dissolved texts.
