graphemachine

A graphemachine is an example of a machine. A machine is not a piece of literature. It is not poetry, and it is not philosophy or literary criticism. It is a method of reading, a tool for conducting an empirical study of language. As such it adopts an unfamiliar formula for cognition. As the inventor of machines, I understand that it is not very generous to ask a reader to try to understand something that is incomprehensible by its very intention. So I invite you, if you choose to engage with these machines to practice a different type of reading: one that does not aim to understand, but that only aims to notice.
