four fables of Edifiction
A machine builds whatever is described to it. The Ministry of Constructive Semantics has cut its motto over the door: everything that can be said can be built.
These fables follow what happens next: houses too perfect to live in, a congress that cannot leave its hall, an architect who has never been inside a building, and a street rebuilt from photographs and from memory.
Original fables from notes by Watson Hartsoe, The House That Language Built, written in the manner of Stanisław Lem.
Drawn in ink in the browser, voiced with Kokoro, the sound made in code. Also: The Cyberiad, filmed.
