Keren Benbenisty, Babel, 2016
In this work, Benbenisty chosen a sentence from the Tower of Babel, found each word as a readymade reCAPTCHA image (a system designed to confirm an internet user is human) online, and engraved these forms onto individual slides that are serially projected in the darkened gallery. Here Benbenisty returned language to its original support–the printed page–marking the archaic relation between architecture and language.
