The Dadameter (2008)

Global index of the decay of the aura of language, the Dadameter aims at measuring our distance to Dada. It was carried out by prototyping a Large Language Model (LLM), years before they were widely used on the Internet, in order to draw cartographies of language at large scale.

Inspired by the work of the French writer Raymond Roussel, the project is a satire about the transmutation of language into a global market ruled by Google et al.
