((OPEN PARENTHESIS))

Programmed code is a hybrid between logical commands for machines and human languages. Determining our communication structures, it hides within devices and interfaces. That invisible, yet increasing, algorithmic dominance on our communication abilities prevents the user from being aware of the processes of translation that are executed by any digital action.The video installation OPEN PARENTHESIS reveals these hidden actions of translation by collating them with the necessity of cultural decoding that people in foreign cultures are obliged to.Code becomes transcripted into human language and translated various times through algorithms until its total decomposition and loose of utility. Not serving as executable algorithm, anymore, it becomes the script for a poetic dialogue between two artists, each one speaking in the natural language of the other - a language that they will never master without mistakes.
