The language of the world has inherently changed in the last three decades. It is no longer a human-readable language that makes up the most central part of our experiences, but a digital one. No longer are family photographs things hung on walls, but instead are shared in Base64-encoded packets emailed across the world. Newspapers have all but lost their physical being, and books may soon be headed the same way, though even the methods by which things are read are different; as shown in "All-England AutoSummarize Proust", the fields of wordy descriptors are slowly giving way to a shorter, punchier blog format.
These works attempt to capture some of the intricacies of this change and return them to formats more traditional to their beings, even when doing so makes the original work seem far from what it once was.
