Description

Each one of the twenty-six letters of the Roman alphabet, individually arranged in a seamless loop, sixty-four permutations per letter, one second at a time. This is the core mechanic underpinning the “unsteady” writing system Timofeev developed and used in this [recent exhibition DOG](https://viktortimofeev.com/dog/) at Interstate Projects, New York. Each letter is divided up into four quadrants, which rotate and swap around in a choreographic manner divided in pairs – tops and bottoms. Horizontal symmetry is preserved in order to maximize the potential for “accidental” imagery to emerge. This system generates sixty-four glyphs per letter, creating the illusion of an asemic writing system that is in fact, generated from itself. each video is 2:11, 1920×1080, 60 fps, mp4 with sound [Chart with all permutations](https://gateway.pinata.cloud/ipfs/QmSCixfrQngw5MyTXRSgzU4gfyqXSULzizCsnwpz4LvWVU/viktor-timofeev--human-abecedary-intra-letters/V/chart.png)
