The “85” project is a poetic multi-media investigation into the reception of the Chinese language and culture into English. The operation involves several transfers: from the original Chinese text into a literal character-for-word translation, then into 85 English letters, and into a visual poem. As a research assistant, I had the great opportunity to work with Claire Huot and Robert Majzels on this project, and throughout a two year term I assisted them in the creation of algorithmic visual translations of the 85 poems, the fabrication of the books and limited edition Book docks.
