New Language so iLL
An essay on new language in pop culture featuring: the non-sense of Green Eggs and Ham; the saying 'Cheese' that triggers a smile across foreign dialects; the absurdity of the Chinese expression 'horse horse tiger tiger' translated as 'so-so'; the stupidity of Homer Simpson's 'D'oh'; the history of gunomatopoeia in rap music; and more on ill new language. This project creates a strange portrait of language drawing on the styles of Beckett, Barthes, Benjamin and Wittgenstein.
Bliss may only come with the absolutely new, for only the new disturbs consciousness.
– Roland Barthes
