Langue Trouvée is a computer-generated, non-semantic form that is treated and performed like written language. The programme mimics the aesthetics of a digital learn-to-write software and asks the user to trace the langue trouvée as accurately as possible. The act of imitation transforms these forms into writing. The lines guide the user’s movement, creating a dialogue between form and performer. Langue trouvée exposes the user to a vicious circle of conditioning and deconditioning. The learning process ends before the gesture of writing can become habitual: A form is created in the moment and never reappears.
