<Text ABC> is a media work that translates the stereoscopic speech sounds emitted in <Newborn Language : Speech> into a symbol system comprehensible to contemporary audiences.
The stereoscopic language proposed by the Newborn Language project departs from traditional planar text and fixed points of utterance, making its content difficult to grasp immediately. To bridge this gap, this work converts the utterances of <Newborn Language : Speech>—generated by an AI trained on over 40 languages—into characters from the various languages used in the training process, displaying them on a CRT television screen. Through this, viewers can compare the sounds floating through space with the multilingual text appearing on screen, obtaining clues to surmise what the New Language seeks to convey.
However, this work is positioned to face the wall rather than the audience. This installation method intentionally makes it difficult to clearly view the text on screen, deliberately limiting viewers' attempts to understand the New Language through visual translation. The exhibition 'Newborn;' aims not for viewers to comprehend the New Language by converting it into existing languages, but rather to directly experience the stereoscopic speech sounds themselves and embody them through auditory experience. <Text ABC> presents the possibility of translation while simultaneously blocking access to it, thereby guiding viewers to accept the New Language entirely as a new sensory experience and allowing them to viscerally feel the essential difference between the language we speak and the New Language.
