The Origin of the Word is a performance lecture that treats language as both body and interface: a lived system of sensation, classification, and access. Moving between code, performance, and participation, it gathers works that remake machinic language as an embodied, communal practice, from Dance Poem Revolution (poems generated through movement) to Consensual Hacking (protocols of permission and pleasure), alongside Partisan Thesaurus, Recursynonym, and Folder Poetry. Together these works ask how machinic language systems don't just describe the world but help produce it, granting lineage, mapping desire, and regulating legibility. The lecture asks how the languages we inherit also write us, and what it looks like to write back.
